TULSA, Okla. - Today, U.S. District Judge Sara E. Hill sentenced Randal Dewayne Davis, 48, of Salina, for Receipt, Distribution, and Possession of Child Pornography in Indian Country. Judge Hill ordered Davis to serve a total of 121 months of imprisonment, followed by lifetime supervised release. Upon his release, Davis will be required to register as a sex offender.

According to court documents, investigators received several tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) related to Davis sharing sexually explicit content of children being abused under the screen names "OkieMalePerv007" and "randyman." After a search warrant was served on his home, the investigation revealed that Davis possessed and distributed thousands of images and videos of minor victims being sexually abused and exploited.
