Grove man charged with possessing visual images depicting child sexual abuse

United States Attorney Clint Johnson today announced the results of the June Federal Grand Jury 2024-A Indictments.

23-year-old Dakota Austin Clark of Grove, a member of the Cherokee Nation, was charged with Possession of Child Pornography in Indian Country.

The images depicted the sexual abuse of a child under 12 years old. The FBI and Grove Police Department are the investigative agencies.

The return of an indictment is a method of informing a defendant of alleged violations of federal law, which must be proven in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt to overcome a defendant’s presumption of innocence.
