Owasso Man Sentenced for Attempted Coercion and Enticement of a Minor
A 28-year-old man from Owasso, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 121 months in prison for Attempted Coercion and Enticement of a Minor. Kyle Jackson Fugate was taken into custody on March 2024 after he was caught attempting to meet with a 15-year-old online.
According to the investigation, Fugate had been messaging a minor victim through social media a month earlier. He convinced the minor victim to send sexually explicit photos, and the minor victim complied.
Fugate was previously released on bond but was taken into custody following his guilty plea in June 2024.
U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell sentenced Fugate to 121 months imprisonment, followed by 10 years of supervised release. Upon release, Fugate will be required to register as a sex offender.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacey Todd prosecuted the case, which was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office as part of Operation Clean Sweep II. This operation partnered with the Tornado Alley Child Exploitation and Trafficking Task Force, which aims to hold child predators accountable throughout the Northern District of Oklahoma.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit Justice.gov/PSC.
Kyle Jackson Fugate will remain in custody, pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
