Investigators from the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Department, with the help of federal authorities, have arrested a Wagoner resident on child pornography charges.
A sheriff’s investigator received a cyber tip on April 28 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about a person in the county was using Discord to commit illegal acts. Discord had submitted a tip to NCMEC that the person associated with an account had shared illegal photos of children.
Investigators submitted multiple subpoenas and identified the suspect as Nathan A. Gatewood, who was arrested June 20 after sheriff’s deputies and investigators executed a search warrant at his home.
Gatewood was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Wagoner County Detention Center, where he was booked on charges of preparing or distributing obscene material or child pornography, and buying, procuring or possessing child pornography. He’s being held in the detention center with no bond.
