Yet again, the Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to a Republican public officer. This time the award goes to Republican Kevin Etherington.
From KOCO News, ABC, Oklahoma City
A former assistant district attorney in Oklahoma has been found guilty of possessing child pornography. Kevin Etherington, 56, worked as the First Assistant District Attorney for Payne and Logan counties for eight years before he was arrested in 2022. In Sept. 2022, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said it received 14 cybertips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of images with suspected child sexual abuse material linked to Etherington. Agents later executed a search warrant at his Stillwater apartment and arrested him in Nov. 2022. Court documents state investigators seized three SD cards, three flash drives and a laptop from Etherington’s home. The OSBI said it found 153 photos and videos of girls under 9 years old being abused in a Google Drive that belonged to Etherington. On Thursday[03/05/26], a Payne County jury found Etherington guilty of aggravated possession of child pornography and possession of child pornography. Court records show the jury recommended Etherington serve a total of 20 years in prison and pay $20,000 in fines for both crimes. Etherington was released on bond in 2023, but was taken back into custody after his conviction. He will be formally sentenced in Payne County on May 8.
