JEFFERSON COUNTY MAN ARRESTED ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGE
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Oklahoma (March 3, 2022) – Today, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force arrested 44-year-old Michael Wade Wigington on a felony child pornography charge.
A search warrant and an arrest warrant were served this morning at 211 S. Parrish in Hastings, Oklahoma by agents from the OSBI ICAC Task Force, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the District 6 Task Force. Wigington was arrested without incident and booked into the Jefferson County Jail on one count of Aggravated Possession of Child Pornography. His bond is set at $220,000.
The investigation began after an online storage platform reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that a user had more than 40 files of suspected child pornography. NCMEC determined the IP address came back to the Parish address in Hastings where Wigington lived. At that point, NCMEC forwarded the information to the OSBI ICAC unit to investigate. In addition to the original files that were reported to NCMEC, a total of 146 videos and photos containing child pornography were uploaded to the online storage platform. NCMEC had received multiple cybertips regarding Wigington.
Wigington was also wanted for multiple warrants from seven different Oklahoma counties.
