This is one of the disturbing cases I ran across this week. An arrest of a scumbag firefighter leads to finding out about the exploitation of a SEVEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD! How sick is that? A second arrest was made. While the description of the woman was given as caretaker, the second link refers to her being the child's mother.
Evidently, the firefighter was producing pornography as well as starring in videos. There were tapes of him with a dog. Have no idea ... none ...

MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma -
Muskogee police say a 7-year-old girl is one of two victims they've identified in a child pornography and sexual exploitation case.
They said they believe there could be more victims.
Police said they have no indication there are more than the two victims they've already identified, but added they don't really know. They said they've only gone through about 25 percent of the content and already identified thousands of images of child pornography.
The case, police say, swamped investigators with the amount of pornography created, sent and received by Zackery Perry; now, investigators have connected Melissa Skelton to the case.

Muskogee Police Concerned Child Sex Ring May Have Other Victims
MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma -
Muskogee police have made a second arrest, and identified a second victim in a child pornography case that started with the arrest of a firefighter.
Now they're concerned about other children possibly involved - and say the case involves at least one child being used for sexual exploitation - with the knowledge of her mother.
Zackery Perry, former Muskogee firefighter, and Melissa Skelton have both been arrested in the investigation.
Muskogee Police held a news conference Tuesday, February 7 to discuss the arrests and ask other possible victims to come forward.
"The potential is that there are more victims," said Muskogee Officer Lincoln Anderson. "That's why the investigators are going through the electronics, the phones, to see what's there, to make sure they don't miss anything."

American Airlines agent saves 2 teenage girls from human trafficking scheme
Law enforcement officials say that a quick-thinking airline employee, aptly named Denice Miracle, likely saved two teenage girls from a human trafficking plot.
Miracle, an American Airlines agent at California's Sacramento International Airport, was working at the ticket desk on Aug. 31 when two girls, aged 15 and 17, approached her counter, according to KOVR.
Miracle said the teenagers, who were trying to board a flight to New York, had a small number of bags with them, but no form of identification and no adult guardians.
The vigilant employee began to think something was seriously wrong when she noticed that the tickets, both first class, were purchased online with a credit card under a name that did not match what either of the teens had provided.
"It was a first-class ticket. It was very expensive. I told a supervisor, 'I'm going to call the sheriff. It just doesn't feel right to me,'" Miracle said.
When deputies arrived at the airport, the teens admitted that their pricey tickets were purchased by a man named "Drey" who they met on Instagram.
Apparently, the stranger told them that if they flew to New York for the weekend, he would pay them $2,000 to model in a music video.
Authorities say they located "Drey" on social media, but after briefly making contact with him, all of his accounts went dark.
"We attempted to look him up on Instagram," said Deputy Todd Sanderson. "Just a few minutes after our contact with him, he erased all of his profiles on social media."
When Deputy Sanderson informed the teens that their tickets had no return flights, he said they became defensive before ultimately accepting what could have happened to them.
"They were somewhat flippant about – 'No, that can't be true' – and I said, 'No, the airline says you have a one-way ticket, and in my belief, you're going back there not to do the things that you think you were going to be doing.' And they said, 'I wouldn't let anything happen that I didn't want.' And I said, ‘Well, you probably wouldn't have a choice in the matter,'" Deputy Sanderson said.

Too bad all the shipping containers don't go through the airport.
