PLEA AGREEMENTS REACHED IN TWO OSBI ICAC INVESTIGATIONS
OKLAHOMA CITY (February 11, 2022) – The suspects in two Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) cases have plead guilty.
Daniel Raymond Sharp, 52, of Wewoka, plead guilty to Possession of Child Pornography and Violation of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act in November 2021. On January 12, 2022, he was sentenced to a 10 year suspended sentence with Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC) supervision. He also must register as a lifetime sex offender.
Sharp was arrested on December 16, 2020 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) forwarded a cybertip they received from an email service provider to the OSBI. The tip referenced an email user sending child exploitation material between September and October of 2020. The images were of a prepubescent naked female child in several sexually explicit poses. There were also several sexually explicit videos of a naked female child.
Joseph Lance Berry, 37, of Cherokee County plead guilty to two counts of Aggravated Possession of Child Pornography. On February 10, 2022, he was sentenced to 22 years in DOC custody.
Berry was arrested on July 23, 2021 after NCMEC forwarded more than two dozen cybertips to the OSBI. An online email provided reported to NCMEC that a user has sent child sexual exploitation material on 26 different occasions between May and June 2021. The material included 735 files that included a combination of photographs and videos showing toddler and child sexual abuse with men and women and bestiality. Berry is a lifetime aggravated sex offender from a 2012 conviction of Lewd Acts to a Child Under Sixteen (16) Years of Age. He was on probation at the time of his arrest.
