Investigation leads to no charges over explicit content displayed on Oklahoma's education chief's television screen.
In a recent turn of events, District Attorney Vicki Behenna has declined to file criminal charges against Oklahoma Education Secretary Ryan Walters, following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate images being displayed in his office depot.
The investigation, led by Oklahoma County Sheriff Tommie Johnson III, was prompted after Board members Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage reportedly saw the images during an executive session in July. However, the specific scene that contained the images has not been specified.
According to the investigation, the images were seen on a television in Walters' office depot, which was tuned to a movie channel that was running the 1985 film "The Protector," starring Jackie Chan.
Despite the allegations, Walters has denied any wrongdoing and referred to the investigation as the "biggest witch hunt in Oklahoma history." He has also been vocal about his attempts to end what he describes as "wokeness" in public schools.
Walters has been a strong supporter of President Donald Trump and has been feuding with teachers unions and local school superintendents. His recent actions have sparked controversy and debate among Oklahoma residents.
The District Attorney's statement cited "insufficient evidence" as the reason for not filing charges. This decision comes after the Oklahoma County Sheriff's office investigation did not reveal any criminal activity beyond the viewing of the aforementioned movie scene.
Walters, in a statement, blamed the media and his accusers of trying to stop his office 365 agenda. He continues to serve as the Oklahoma Education Secretary, with the case now seemingly closed.
It's important to note that Walters has not been charged with any criminal activity regarding the images. The search results do not provide information about the name of the film found by the investigators in Walters' office depot.
As this story continues to unfold, Oklahoma residents and education officials will be closely watching the developments to understand the full implications of these events.
