Pryor Resident Sentenced To 180 Months For Child Sexual Exploitation And Abuse

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Lucien Tyler Littledave, age 30, of Pryor, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 180 months in prison for one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Child, 180 months for one count of Coercion and Enticement, 180 months for one count of Receipt of Certain Materials Involving Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, 180 months for one count of Distribution of Certain Materials Involving Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, 180 months for one count of Rape in the Second Degree in Indian Country, and 120 months for one count of Sexual Battery in Indian Country.   These sentences are set to be served concurrently.

The charges arose from an investigation by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Police Department and the Broken Arrow Police Department.

On May 7, 2024, Littledave pleaded guilty to the charges.  According to investigators, between March 2023 and May 2023, while employed as a teacher and coach with the Coweta Public School System, Littledave knowingly enticed a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity.  Littledave also used a cell phone to produce and distribute sexually explicit images of the victim.

The crimes occurred in Carter County, within the boundaries of the Chickasaw Nation Reservation, and in Wagoner County, within the boundaries of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.  Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.  For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.
