SEQUOYAH COUNTY, Okla — A Texas man will serve 30 years in prison after traveling to Oklahoma to "engage in illicit sexual conduct" with a child and "sexual exploitation of a child," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Easter District of Oklahoma.
According to the release, 64-year-old Michael Wayne Green of Irving, Texas, drove to Sequoyah County in 2022 to "engage in sexual acts" with a 12-year-old child and took photos and videos of the child "engaged in sexually explicit conduct."
The FBI and the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation. Green pleaded guilty to the charges on Jan. 2, 2024.
“This defendant made the depraved decision to sexually exploit a child, not only failing to meet any standard of human decency, but choosing instead to inflict pain and suffering on an innocent victim,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Joseph Skarda of the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office.
Anyone who suspects or has information about child sexual exploitation, trafficking of minors, sextortion or child sexual abuse material is encouraged to call police or report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
