— MUSKOGEE – A Madill man has pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges.
U.S. Attorney Sheldon J. Sperling said Clinton Everett Langston, 21, pleaded guilty to receiving a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and possession of visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Langston was indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2007. Charges stem from an FBI investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. From August 2006 to October 2006, Langston received and possessed still photographs and videos e downloaded from the Internet of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, Sperling said.
As part of the plea, Langston also agreed to forfeit the computer equipment he used to receive and possess the pornographic images.
U.S. Magistrate Kimberly E. West accepted Langston’s guilty plea, and ordered the preparation of a pre-sentence report. Sentencing will be scheduled upon its completion.
Langston faces up to 20 years imprisonment and/or up to $250,000 in fines.
A preliminary advisory federal sentencing guidelines review projects Langston could face from 121 to 151 months’ imprisonment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Wilson represented the government.
