OKLAHOMA CITY – BRANDON SCOTT MASSEY, 29, of Chickasha, has been sentenced to serve 480 months in federal prison for sexual exploitation of children, attempted sexual exploitation of children, and possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

“This adult predator repeatedly targeted, deceived, and manipulated multiple young victims for years for his own sexual gratification,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester. “The 40-year prison sentence imposed by the Court holds him accountable for his deplorable conduct and safeguards the community from further harm to child victims.”

“This defendant attempted to hide his reprehensible conduct targeting young victims by using a social media platform with a false identity, but the FBI tracked him down and worked diligently to stop him,” said FBI Oklahoma City Special Agent in Charge Doug Goodwater. “Now, Brandon Massey will spend the next 40 years in prison for his detestable crimes manipulating and exploiting children. I commend the work of the FBI team and our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for their dedication to justice for these victims.”

According to public records, in April 2025, the FBI began investigating allegations that Massey had solicited photographs of a minor while posing as a teenaged boy in a Facebook group. During the investigation, agents discovered that Massey had joined many Facebook groups intended for teenagers and used the platform to solicit sexually explicit images from minor girls. Agents also determined that Massey possessed images and videos depicting child pornography.

In December 2025, Massey was charged by Superseding Information with sexual exploitation of children, attempted sexual exploitation of children, and possession of child pornography. Massey pleaded guilty on January 13, 2026, and admitted that he coerced at least five minors to engage in sexually explicit conduct and send him images and videos through Facebook over the course of several years. Massey admitted to persuading these minors that he was in love with them, and, sometimes, threatening to break up with them, in order to get the minors to send him this material. He also admitted to possessing child pornography of these minors and other minors.

At a sentencing hearing on August 24, 2026, U.S. District Judge Patrick R. Wyrick sentenced Massey to serve 480 months in federal prison, followed by a lifetime term of supervised release. In imposing this harsh sentence, Judge Wyrick noted Massey’s horrific and sadistic behavior in humiliating the child victims. This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Joynes prosecuted 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.
