Grand Jury Indicts Muldrow Man

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Muskogee announced Wednesday the results of the December 2017 Federal Grand Jury.

One of those inducted by the grand jury is a man from Muldrow.

Michael Aaron Campbell, 21, was indicted on two counts of enticement of a minor using interstate commerce.

The Indictment alleges that from about June 6 until July 26, the defendant used the Internet to persuade, induce, and entice an individual, Child No. 1, whom he believed to be under 16 years of age, to engage in sexual activity for which a person can be criminally charged under Oklahoma State law for second-degree rape.

The crime is punishable by not less than 10 years imprisonment, a fine up to $250,000 or both.

The Indictment further alleges that from about June, the exact date being unknown to the grand jury, until on or about July 26, Campbell used cellular communication to persuade, induce, and entice an individual, Child No. 2, whom he believed to be under 14 years of age, to engage in sexual activity for which a person can be criminally charged under Oklahoma State law with first-degree rape.

The crime is punishable by not less than 10 years imprisonment, a fine up to $250,000 or both.

The charges arose from an investigation by the Muldrow Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations.

A grand jury Indictment does not constitute evidence of guilt. A grand jury Indictment is a method of bringing formal charges against the defendant. A defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and may not be found guilty unless evidence establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
