The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma has announced that Jordan Francis Toyne, a 36-year-old resident of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, was convicted by a federal jury on three counts of sexual abuse of a minor in Indian Country. The trial began on January 21, 2025, and concluded with guilty verdicts on January 23, 2025.
Evidence presented during the trial indicated that Toyne sexually assaulted a minor from the summer of 2020 until 2023 when the victim turned 16. Additionally, evidence showed Toyne abused another minor in 2021. At the time of these offenses, Toyne was an investigator with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit. He resigned before an internal investigation by OSBI was completed. The victims were not related to his official duties; however, evidence suggested he used his expertise as a Child Crimes Investigator to groom victims and avoid detection.
The investigation leading to Toyne's conviction involved the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Owasso Police Department, with special assistance from OSBI. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma because one victim is a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe and the crimes took place in Pittsburg County within the Choctaw Nation Reservation boundaries.
Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White presided over the trial at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. He ordered a presentence report to be completed before scheduling sentencing. Until then, Toyne remains in custody under U.S. Marshals supervision.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nicole Paladino and Emily Wittlinger represented the prosecution.
