A 2-year-old missing Oklahoma girl allegedly suffered a nightmare of abuse at the hands of her parents, who shot her with a BB gun, beat her with a paddle that had 'The Last Resort' written on it and finally sold her to a meth dealer, according to local reports. Ashley Ceejay Rowland, 39, and her boyfriend Joshua Denton, 40, were arrested on Aug. 5 in connection to the abuse against their poor tot London Kerr, who was last seen in the arms of the mother's methamphetamine dealer in 2022, according to The Oklahoman. Rowland confessed to police that she gave the poor child to a man identified as 'Carlos' in exchange for drugs, the report stated.

Before abandoning London, Rowland and Denton exacted cruel and vicious physical punishment on the toddler. 4 London Kerr was last seen in the arms of the mother's methamphetamine dealer in 2022. KFOR Teenage children of Rowland said she and her boyfriend would shoot the baby with BB guns, strike her with a wooden paddle, and lock her in a closet, the report stated, citing a criminal affidavit.

Ryan Walters reacts to investigations into nude image allegations
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A criminal investigation is underway after bombshell allegations of explicit nude images played on a TV in State Superintendent Ryan Walters' office during last week's State School Board meeting. The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) tells News 4 that state office officials brought them in because they wanted to figure out not only if what allegedly happened in Walters' office was unethical, but also if it amounted to a crime. OCSO posted this letter from the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services requesting an investigation into Walters. 'On July 25, 2025, Becky Carson submitted a complaint to OMES General Counselstating, 'she was subjected to pornographic images on the monitor of Ryan Walters.' Walters called a news conference late Tuesday afternoon to say that he had been cleared by OMES and the Oklahoma County Sheriff's office. The OSCO office tells News 4 that is not the case and the investigation is ongoing. This is a developing story. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Oklahoma authorities investigate reports of explicit images on state education chief's TV
An Oklahoma sheriff's office Monday opened an investigation over reports that images of nude women were displayed on the state's school superintendent office television during a meeting with education board members. Top Oklahoma lawmakers have sought answers over accounts given by two State Board of Education members, who said they saw the images during a meeting in Ryan Walters 's office Thursday. Another board member, Chris Van Denhende, said he was not in a position to see the television but that 'something was on the screen that should not have been,' based on Walters' reaction. The investigation is in the early stages, said Aaron Brilbeck, a spokesperson for the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. He said it was not clear if any laws were violated. Walters, a Republican, has spent much of his first term in office lauding President Donald Trump, feuding with teachers unions and local school superintendents, and trying to end what he describes as 'wokeness' in public schools. Brilbeck said the sheriff's office was investigating at the request of the state's Office of Management and Enterprise Services, which handles technology, human resources and property management issues for state government. Education board members Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage told the online news outlet NonDoc that they saw a video featuring naked women in Walters' office during the executive session. They said that they were the only people seated in places where they could see the screen. Carson said that when she asked Walters to turn it off he expressed confusion before doing so. Walters said in a post on the social platform X on Sunday that 'any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false.' 'I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident, and there is absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing,' he wrote. Walters' office did not immediately reply to a request by The Associated Press for comment about the investigation on Monday. Van Denhende told the AP that he's fine with the sheriff's department investigating, though 'I'm not certain if it is a violation of law or state policy.' Senate Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton, a Republican, in a news release on Friday said it was 'a bizarre and troubling situation,' and that 'the accounts made public by board members paint a strange, unsettling scene that demands clarity and transparency.'
