Last year, Lewis was arrested twice within a week. The first arrest happened after a search warrant led investigators to nude images of a girl on his computer. He was arrested the second time after evidence on his cell phone showed he was meeting women on Craigslist and then asking them for naked pictures of their kids.
Two women were charged for complying with his requests. Sally Deupree, 55, of Glenpool, pleaded not guilty to possession of child pornography and attempting to procure the participation of a minor in child pornography. Brittiny Dick, 21, of Vinita, pleaded not guilty to two counts of manufacture of child pornography and two counts of distribution of child pornography.
Dick was arrested after Tulsa Police reportedly found pornographic photos of her daughter on Ricky Lewis' cell phone. They say she had sent the photos to him.
According to court documents, Deupree received naked photos of a 2-year-old girl. Tulsa Police say in those documents she also corresponded with Lewis about him engaging in sexual activity with the toddler, asking him to tape the act and send the video to her.
Both women have trial dates set for September 16.
