Despite having text messages that showed Oliver asking his client for a threesome with her daughter, prosecutors dropped a felony charge of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor via technology as part of a plea bargain.
PAULS VALLEY, Okla. – A former attorney general for two western Oklahoma tribes was put on probation Wednesday after prosecutors dropped a felony charge stemming from accusations of reducing a client’s legal fees in exchange for sex with her underage daughter.
Chickasaw Nation citizen Jeremy Oliver, a resident of Wynnewood, Okla., received two years’ probation after pleading no contest to distributing obscene material and possession of marijuana.
According to the initial arrest report, Oliver offered via text message in February 2013 to reduce a client’s fees in exchange for nude photographs or sexual favors from the client’s 13- and 17-year-old daughters, as well as sexual favors from the client. Oliver also sent an obscene photograph of himself to the client while making the request. A search of his home at the time of the arrest uncovered several pounds of marijuana and several hundred nude photographs.
Despite having text messages that showed Oliver asking his client for a threesome with her daughter, prosecutors dropped a felony charge of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor via technology as part of a plea bargain. Garvin County District Attorney Greg Mashburn told the Daily Oklahoman Wednesday that the evidence “didn’t shake out” the way his office had intended.
Oliver was the attorney general for former Cheyenne and Arapaho claimant governor Leslie Wandrie-Harjo’s administration for more than two years. Prior to his appointment, he was the general counsel for the constitutionally-bound tribes’ legislature.
According to his LinkedIn account, Oliver is also the former attorney general for the Caddo Nation, headquartered in Binger, Okla.
Now that Oliver has a criminal conviction, his license to practice law in Oklahoma could be suspended by the state’s Supreme Court. He has been practicing law in Oklahoma since 2008.
Oliver could not be reached for comment Thursday morning.
