A Coleman, Texas man, Christopher Lynn Driskill, 49, has been sentenced to 720 months, or 60 years, in federal prison for producing child sexual abuse material. The sentence, which is the statutory maximum, was announced by Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy E. Larson.
The investigation began in July 2024 when a foreign partner referred child sexual abuse material found on the dark web to the FBI’s Victim Identification Program. The videos showed a male with several distinctive tattoos sexually assaulting a prepubescent boy. The FBI identified Driskill after finding a Twitter account with photos of him and the same tattoos, including the word “DABBY” on his chest, “197x” on his left bicep, and “CAST NO STONES” on his left forearm.
Concurrently, the Coleman Police Department was investigating a separate complaint that Driskill had molested a child. A recorded interview with Driskill revealed the same tattoos the FBI was investigating.
Driskill was arrested on a federal complaint in November 2024 and was indicted shortly after for production of child pornography. In February 2025, he pleaded guilty to two counts of the crime. In his plea documents, Driskill admitted that videos on his phone showed him engaging in sexually explicit conduct with minor male victims and that he had coerced the victims into the acts so he could record them.
On July 29, 2025, United States Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham sentenced Driskill to the statutory maximum of 360 months on each of the two counts, with the sentences running consecutively.
“The sentence imposed in this case underscores the seriousness of the crime,” said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock. “The defendant created child sexual abuse material and distributed it through the dark web for others to view it. A tip from a foreign partner resulted in law enforcement arresting a dangerous predator and preventing future abuse.”
The case was investigated by the FBI’s Dallas Field Office, with assistance from the Bureau’s Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP) and the Coleman Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Tusing prosecuted the case.
