A Grady County man accused of sharing explicit images of children is being held on a $500,000 bond after authorities say he admitted to the allegations and acknowledged knowing his actions were wrong. Vico DuToit was identified as a suspect after investigators tracked cyber tips reporting that child sexual abuse material had surfaced online, and he is now due in court in November.
Three Cyber Tips Led Investigators to DuToit
According to KSWO, authorities began investigating DuToit after receiving three separate cyber tips. Investigators say he owned, shared and posted several pornographic images, the station reports. A separate account from KOKH states the Grady County Sheriff's Office received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reporting that explicit child pornography had been uploaded in Grady County, and that deputies determined the material had been uploaded from a computer in the Dibble area before identifying DuToit as the suspect.
Per the same KOKH account, DuToit allegedly admitted to deputies that he uploaded and posted the material from his Kik account. KSWO separately reports that DuToit admitted to the allegations and said he knew what he did was wrong. Court records on an attorney, plea, or the specifics of his next hearing were not available in the reporting reviewed.
Conflicting Reports on the Exact Charges
The two outlets differ on how DuToit's charges are described. KSWO reports he is charged with eight counts of possession of juvenile pornography and one count of violating an Oklahoma statute via computer, while KOKH's reporting describes eight counts of violating the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act along with possession of child pornography. He is being held on a $500,000 bond and is due in court in November, the station notes.
A National Surge in Reports to the CyberTipline
Cases like DuToit's are emerging against a backdrop of sharply rising reports nationwide. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline, created in 1998 to receive reports of suspected child sexual exploitation from the public and electronic service providers, identified and escalated more than 53,000 reports in 2025 that were urgent or involved a child in imminent danger, according to missingkids.org. Reports from electronic service providers to the CyberTipline contained 61.8 million images, videos and other files tied to child sexual exploitation incidents last year, the organization says.
The data also shows steep year-over-year jumps in specific categories. CyberTipline reports concerning online enticement rose 158% in 2025 compared with 2024, while reports concerning child sex trafficking climbed 323% over the same period, per missingkids.org. The CyberTipline received 1.4 million reports concerning online enticement in 2025 alone, including more than 80,000 reports concerning sextortion, and the organization logged an average of 137 financial sextortion reports a day, a 37% increase over the prior year.
Where to Report Suspected Exploitation
Oklahoma's Internet Crimes Against Children page directs residents who suspect child sexual exploitation to report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline at www.cybertipline.com or by calling 1-800-THE-LOST, according to oklahoma.gov. DuToit was due in court in November.
