Howe, Oklahoma Residents Plead Guilty to Sexual Abuse and Child Exploitation Charges

Two Howe, Oklahoma, residents have entered guilty pleas in relation to a minor’s sexual abuse. 22-year-old Armondo Joseph Palma entered a guilty plea to the charge of transferring a juvenile for illegal purposes.

Palma and Wilson entered guilty pleas, which were overseen by U.S. Magistrate Judge D. Edward Snow of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Until their sentencing, which will come after a presentence investigation, both will be held in federal detention. Homeland Security Investigations, the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office, and the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office were among the several organizations that participated in the investigation. The government was represented by Caila M. Cleary, an assistant U.S. attorney. Although a sentencing date has not yet been set, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that the guilty pleas guarantee that both parties will be held accountable for their acts.
