Oklahoma AG’s office files rape charges against former Wewoka police officer

Oklahoma City – A former Wewoka Police Officer is facing four felony charges after an investigation by Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s Office uncovered the officer performed sexual acts with a minor while on duty.

Trever Blackwell is facing one felony count of second degree rape as a result of having sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl between August 2011 and January 2012.

Blackwell also faces two counts of lewd/indecent acts with a minor and one count of transmitting information by computer for purposes of instigating sexual conduct with a minor. These crimes occurred between May 2011 and January 2012.

The crimes took place in Seminole County while the victim was participating in the Wewoka Police Department’s Explorer Program.  Some of the crimes occurred while the victim was riding in Blackwell’s patrol car as a part of the program.

The former officer now faces up to 15 years in the State Penitentiary for the first count, up to 20 years for the second and third count and up to 10 years for the fourth count. The charges are being prosecuted by attorneys with the Multi-County Grand Jury Unit of the Attorney General’s Office.
