The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Michael Wayne Green, age 64, of Irving, Texas, was sentenced to 360 months in prison for one count of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and 360 months in prison for one count of sexual exploitation of a child.
The terms of imprisonment are to be served concurrently.
The charges arose from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office.
On January 2, 2024, Green pleaded guilty to the charges. According to investigators, in July 2022, Green travelled from his home in Texas to the Eastern District of Oklahoma to engage in sexual acts with a child under the age of twelve, caused the child to engage in sexual conduct, and used his cell phone to create photos and videos of the child engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
“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.
“Michael Wayne Green violated his position of trust in the most horrifying, reprehensible, and detestable manner possible,” said United States Attorney Christopher J. Wilson.
Ronald A. White, Chief District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing. Green will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshal pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.
