Claremore man sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexually abusing toddler and shared video

A Claremore man was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison after sharing a video of himself sexually abusing a toddler on social media.

A federal judge sentenced Brayden Kent Bull to 50 years in prison in federal court on Wednesday.

Court documents show Bull admitted to recording a video of himself sexually abusing a toddler in his care in 2021 and sharing it on Snapchat.

The Rogers County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case after an OSBI task force received a tip about Bull, who was living in Claremore at the time.

“You know, I’m very grateful that our district attorney’s office is good at conveying that message, as is the U.S. attorney’s office. And today I don’t know what anyone in the area could say for more than 50 years.” “At 30, he’ll be an old man when he gets out of prison,” said Sheriff Scott Walton.

Court documents show Bull sent and received nude photos of underage teenagers he met on Snapchat through multiple profiles.

He also admitted to using a website that anonymously connects you with other users via live video. There he looked for sexual content involving minors.

The investigators also found several videos of children under the age of twelve on his cell phone.

“But we’re talking about small children. And I mean, the deplorable abuse, you know.” Walton said: “It takes illness to another level.”

“This 50-year sentence is a direct result of the severity and depravity of Bull’s criminal conduct,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “Combating child abuse requires a collective effort.”
