MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Brooke Lynn Davidson, age 29, entered a guilty plea to one count of child neglect, in violation of 18 United States Code Sections 1151, 1153, 2, and 21 Oklahoma Statute Section 843.5(C), punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to life imprisonment, and/or a fine of up to $250,000.00, a term of supervised release determined by the court, and a special assessment fee in the amount of $100.00.

The Indictment alleged that the crime occurred on or about February 26, 2020, at a residence in Ardmore, Oklahoma.  Defendant Davidson witnessed, videoed and did nothing to stop her boyfriend from engaging in sexual acts with a female victim who was unconscious and physically incapable of declining to participate in such sex acts.  Davidson’s three-old child was awake and present during these events and Davidson willfully and maliciously failed to protect the child from exposure to the illicit sexual activity and the possession of marijuana.

The charges arose from an investigation by the Ardmore Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The Honorable Kimberley West, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.
