A 27-year-old Moore woman was sentenced to the statutory maximum of 30 years in federal prison Monday after admitting she produced and sold explicit images of toddlers online to fund drug purchases. U.S. District Judge Patrick R. Wyrick handed down the sentence to Megan Kylie Robinson during a hearing in Oklahoma City, closing out a case that began with a single tip routed through the nation's child exploitation clearinghouse.
According to court records cited by the U.S. Department of Justice, Robinson created and sold more than 800 explicit images using minors around ages three and four between October 15, 2024, and September 30, 2025. As reported by KOKH, Robinson admitted she produced the material in exchange for Cash App payments, which court filings say she used to buy the herbal supplement kratom.
Kratom remains legal for adult purchase in Oklahoma under the state's Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which lawmakers updated in 2024 and 2025 to add purity testing and enforce the state's 18-and-older age limit, according to Justia Law. The substance itself was not illegal to buy — it was the money behind the purchases that drew federal scrutiny.
A Tip From Arizona Led Investigators to Moore
The FBI's investigation into Robinson began with a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children concerning an individual located in Arizona, the Justice Department said. That lead pointed agents toward digital communications and Cash App payments tied to Robinson, ultimately uncovering the operation running out of Moore. FBI agents identified communications showing Robinson distributed the material in exchange for payment, per KOKH's report.
NCMEC's role as a national clearinghouse is not incidental to this case — it is central to how many of these investigations begin. In 2024 alone, the organization's CyberTipline received more than 20.5 million reports of suspected online child sexual abuse material and exploitation nationwide, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Financially motivated exploitation and sextortion reports alone climbed past 50,000 cases in 2025, averaging roughly 137 reports a day, up from 36,000 such reports in 2024, the organization said in a separate release.
From Charges to Guilty Plea to Maximum Sentence
Federal prosecutors charged Robinson through a superseding information on January 6, 2026, a filing method often used when a defendant waives indictment ahead of a plea. She pleaded guilty on February 9, 2026, admitting in federal court that she produced child pornography in exchange for Cash App payments. She will also serve five years of supervised release after completing her prison term.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 2251, production of child pornography carries a mandatory minimum of 15 years and a statutory maximum of 30 years in federal prison for a first offense, according to the Congressional Research Service. Judge Wyrick's sentence matched that ceiling exactly. Because federal law eliminated parole for crimes committed after 1987, Robinson cannot be released early except through a maximum 15% reduction for good conduct, per an analysis from Bulldog Law — meaning she is expected to serve the vast majority of the three-decade term.
Officials Point to Broader Federal Effort
The prosecution was carried out under Project Safe Childhood, a Department of Justice initiative launched in 2006 that pools federal, state, and local resources to fight technology-facilitated child exploitation. U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester said the sentence would bring severe consequences for child sex predators, calling the sexual exploitation of children one of the most depraved criminal acts in society — one that preys on the most vulnerable victims and decimates their lives. Doug Goodwater said those who profit from the abuse and suffering of children will face the harshest consequences available under federal law.
The case, first reported locally by KOKH reporter Sierra Joslin, closes with Robinson facing three decades behind bars for crimes prosecutors say she committed for money to buy drugs. Investigators say the path from an out-of-state tip to a Moore residence underscores how digital payment trails and national reporting systems continue to expose exploitation that might otherwise go undetected.
