More details have been released surrounding the arrest of an Elk City man last month after a tip from the FBI led to the raid of the suspect’s home.
That man, identified as being 37-year-old Timothy Blaylock Junior would be arrested by the FBI and received multiple felony charges including two counts of child sexual abuse, two counts of possession of juvenile pornography, and one count of attempted 1st degree rape.
According to the probable cause affidavit, On July 28 Elk City P.D. were notified by an agent with the FBI that the suspect was online at the time, and the FBI had reason to believe that an assault of a child was imminent. Police formed an entry team and made entry into the residence, detained Blaylock, and secured the scene.
The affidavit stated that 5 juvenile females were inside the residence with ages ranging from 6 to 14 years of age.
The affidavit said that forensic interviews were conducted with 4 out of 5 of the juveniles, and it was discovered that two of the girls may have been victims.
The court document said that after obtaining a search warrant, police would gather evidence out of the home that coincided with the victim’s statements, including a cell phone with alleged inappropriate images involving the victims and Blaylock.
Bond for Blaylock was set at $1 million.
