 MULTIPLE OFFENDERS, JURISTICTIONS

2018-May - OK - Oklahoma firefighter had sex with his children and his dog. Zackery Blaine Perry, 32 was arrested in 2017 after a woman reported he had asked her for nude photos of her 8 year-old daughter. At the time, Perry was a firefighter with the Muskogee County Fire Department, and like many child predators, he found a way to be near children by dressing up as a clown to teach kits about fire safety. 

By the time Perry was arrested, he had downloaded or created nearly 3,000 child porn images, including some videos and photos he took of himself having sex with his Rottweiler, as well as images of an adult female having sex with the same dog. Equally disturbing were the thousands of images of child pornography found on Perry’s cellphone, some of which led to Melissa Marie (Humphrey) Skelton (26 at the time of her arreest).

In exchange for money, Skelton not only produced pornographic images of herself and her 6 year-old daughter and sent them to Perry, but she allowed him to spend time alone with Perry, knowing he was going to sexually abuse her. Chats and texts on Perry’s cellphone indicated Skelton was also in the process of grooming her two-year-old daughter for sex with Perry at a later date. 

During a search warrant of Perry’s home, investigators found 3 pairs of girl's underwear, a girl’s shirt, 3 digital cameras and a webcam, 8 smartphones, 4 computers and a tablet, 1 firearm, and lots of portable storage (eg thumb drives) containing about 3800 images of children that were nude or involved in lewd acts. Some of the images found were of Perry having intercourse with, or performing oral sex on, a 6 year-old female, as well as nude images of Skelton’s daughter in Perry’s kitchen.

Perry was charged with sexual abuse of a child under 12,  child sexual exploitation, posession and distribution of child pornography, and crimes against nature (bestiality). In a separate case, Perry and Skelton were charged with conspiracy and sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12.  Skelton was convicted in 2017 and sentenced to 30 years in prison, 85% of which must be served before she is eligible for parole. Perry was sentenced in 2018 to 55 years in prison, 85% of which must be served. Both Perry and Skelton will be required to register as sex offenders. 

At the sentencing hearing, Judge Thomas A. Alford commented, “In all my 30-plus years on the bench, I can say with certainty, I have never seen one situation that has left so many victims in its wake. In May, 2019, Perry requested a judicial review to modify his sentences; however, his request was denied.
