Lee Edward Redman, a 52-year-old resident of Edmond, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to attempting to coerce and entice a minor into sexual activity. The charge stemmed from actions that took place between October 21 and October 24, 2022. The case was investigated by the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Magistrate Judge D. Edward Snow of the Eastern District of Oklahoma has accepted Redman's guilty plea and ordered a presentence investigation report. Redman will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service until his sentencing, as reported by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The U.S. Attorney's Office has not set a sentencing date for Redman, but the charges suggest he could face a long prison sentence. The case involves efforts by law enforcement to address crimes involving the exploitation of minors. Assistant U.S. Attorney Morgan Muzljakovich represented the government in the plea hearing. The case also shows cooperation between federal and local law enforcement. The community is now waiting for the sentencing phase.
