Christopher Kyle Buxton, 35, of Lawton, has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for aiding and abetting in the production of child pornography and possession of child pornography. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
According to public records, Buxton’s offenses took place between August 2023 and April 30, 2024. During this period, he induced others to produce child pornography and possessed a large collection of such material. Records also indicate that he 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.”
FBI Oklahoma City Special Agent in Charge Doug Goodwater commented on the case: “A sentence of this magnitude reflects the severity of the crimes committed. 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 by Superseding Information on December 26, 2024, with aiding and abetting in the production of child pornography as well as possessing it. He pleaded guilty to these charges on January 7, 2025.
At his sentencing hearing on July 18, 2025, U.S. District Judge Jodi W. Dishman imposed a sentence of 360 months in federal prison followed by a lifetime term of supervised release. Buxton was also ordered to pay $41,500 in restitution. Judge Dishman described Buxton’s conduct as egregious and reprehensible, noting that its depravity was difficult to comprehend and emphasizing that his sentence must serve a strong retributive purpose.
The FBI Oklahoma City Field Office led the investigation into this case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Joynes.
This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice to combat child sexual exploitation online by coordinating federal, state, and local resources for investigating offenders and rescuing victims (www.justice.gov/psc).
