Robert J. "Bob" Troester U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma
Christopher Kyle Buxton, 35, from Lawton, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 360 months in federal prison for aiding and abetting in the production of child pornography and possession of child pornography. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
Court records indicate that between August 2023 and April 30, 2024, Buxton induced others to produce child pornography and possessed a significant collection of such material. He also distributed child pornography and caused others to sexually exploit children.
“Securing justice for vulnerable child victims, and holding child predators accountable, remains an unwavering priority for my office and the Justice Department,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester. “This 30-year sentence sends a clear and uncompromising message that such heinous crimes will be met with the full force of the law. I commend the relentless efforts of law enforcement and prosecutors who stand firm in protecting our children from the threat posed by this defendant.”
“A sentence of this magnitude reflects the severity of the crimes committed,” said FBI Oklahoma City Special Agent in Charge Doug Goodwater. “I commend the efforts of agents and prosecutors in holding this dangerous predator accountable. He will now spend decades behind bars where he can no longer target children in our communities.”
Buxton was charged on December 26, 2024, with aiding and abetting in the production of child pornography as well as possessing it. On January 7, 2025, he pleaded guilty to these offenses.
During sentencing on July 18, 2025, U.S. District Judge Jodi W. Dishman imposed a prison term of thirty years followed by a lifetime supervised release period and ordered Buxton to pay $41,500 in restitution. Judge Dishman described Buxton’s actions as egregious and reprehensible.
The case was investigated by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office with prosecution handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Joynes.
This prosecution falls under Project Safe Childhood (PSC), an initiative led by the Department of Justice aimed at combating child sexual exploitation using federal, state, and local resources to find offenders online as well as identify victims nationwide (www.justice.gov/psc).
