As a result of the Internet, the government is pursuing new "white collar" cyber crimes such as Internet fraud, E-Bay ® fraud, Phishing, Vishing, computer intrusions or computer hacking, password trafficking, SPAM crimes, I.D./identity theft, Internet harassment (such as Bots, Worms, Viruses, Spyware, Malware), Internet bomb threats, trafficking in explosives, counterfeiting of currency or securities, copyright piracy and Warez schemes (software, movies and music), trade secret theft or infringement, and cyber sex & computer sexual exploitation crimes are being charged more frequently in federal and sometimes state courts. Joint and individual "sting" operations are in place by the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms (ATF), the U.S. Postal Inspectors, Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other state and local law enforcement agencies.  Many of these cyber crimes are prosecuted in the federal courts because of the multi-jurisdictional issues and the federal government's resources devoted to these issues. We defend persons accused of Internet crimes or computer crimes nationwide in federal courts or in Oklahoma's state courts.

If you are under investigation or are charged with any of htese crimes, the Wyatt Law Office can help you.

Recent & Noteworthy Investigations & Results

Bob Wyatt was recently interviewed by the National Law Journal for his expertise in the area of sex crimes and cybercrimes.  The article was published on February 18, 2008.

Charge Dismissed. February 2007.  Client was charged with downloading and viewing child pornography after a former arrest for similar accusations. After a full hearing, the court declined to "accelerate" the previous deferred sentence for possession of obscene materials and the new charge of possession of child porn was dismissed.*

14-Count Federal Child Porn Indictment Dismissed.  October 2006, Wyatt and McCoy investigated, researched, briefed, argued and convinced the federal court to suppress evidence obtained pursuant to a search warrant in the the FBI's nationwide OPERATION CRYING EYES investigation. After the federal judge's ruling, the U.S. Attorneys' Office dismissed the 14-count indictment.*  

Child Porn Charges against Professor Dismissed.  July 2004, after more than a year of hotly contested litigation, the District Attorney dismissed charges against Wyatt's client for possession of child porn and for using an employer's computer to access child pornography. Client pled no contest to a reduced charge for a violation of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act.  No jail time ordered.* 

Internet Child Solicitation & Traveling for Sex -- Not Guilty. June 2003, the Wyatt Law Office tried an Innocent Images case to a federal jury in Oklahoma City winning a "not guilty" verdict on both counts of using the Internet to entice a minor for sex and for traveling across state lines to engage in sex with a minor.*
