Norman Liquor Store Owner Pleads Guilty to Possessing Child Pornography

OKLAHOMA CITY – KAYVAN KARYA RASOLKHANI, 46, of Norman, has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

According to public records, before October 2025, Rasolkhani contacted an undercover FBI agent through an online messaging website, expressing an interest in meeting with the agent to sexually assault the agent’s two fictitious children. On October 15, 2025, the FBI then executed search warrants on Rasolkhani’s person, vehicle, residence, and his workplace, University Liquor, and seized a cell phone that contained videos and images of child pornography. On January 22, 2026, Rasolkhani was charged by Information with possession of child pornography.

Today, Rasolkhani pleaded guilty and admitted he knowingly possessed images containing child pornography, including images of prepubescent minors. At sentencing, Rasolkhani faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Ganz is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the DOJ Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, PSC marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
