An Okmulgee man has entered a guilty plea to Child Sexual Abuse in federal court.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced last week that Carl Ray Smith, 52, entered a guilty plea to Abusive Sexual Contact With A Child Under 12 Years.

The Honorable Kimberly E. West, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee accepted the plea and ordered completion of a pre-sentence investigation report.
