Thomas Owen Barnett, 40, of Coos Bay was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison and 15 years of supervised release after using one minor to produce child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and attempting to use another minor to do the same. Between September and December 2023, Barnett encouraged a minor victim to create and send him CSAM. In September 2024, he distributed CSAM of that minor victim on Kik and sought money in exchange. That same month, he posed as the minor victim online and asked a man in another country to make and send him CSAM depicting the man's very young child. A federal grand jury in Eugene returned a four-count indictment on Feb. 20, 2025 charging him with sexual exploitation of a child, attempted sexual exploitation of a child, and possession and distribution of child pornography. The case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the North Bend Police Department and the Coos County Sheriff's Office.
