Ronald Craig Summers Guilty

Ronald Craig Summers, age 34, of Spiro, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to a heinous crime that will haunt the community for years to come. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Summers entered a guilty plea to a Superseding Indictment of one count of Aggravated Sexual Abuse in Indian Country, punishable by 30 years to life in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The Superseding Indictment alleged that between January 2024 and continuing until October 7, 2024, Summers knowingly engaged in a sexual act with a person who had not attained the age of 12 years.

The investigation, led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Human Services, uncovered the disturbing details of Summers’ actions, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

The Honorable Jason A. Robertson, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report. A U.S. District Court Judge will determine the sentence to be imposed after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Summers will remain in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Morgan Muzljakovich and Nicole Paladino represented the United States in this case, working tirelessly to ensure that justice is served. The guilty plea is a testament to the dedication and perseverance of law enforcement and the judicial system in bringing perpetrators to account for their heinous crimes.
