This afternoon, agents with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Internet Crimes Against Children Unit arrested a volunteer youth leader for a Ponca City church. Joel David Bolay (dob: 12/08/1986) was arrested at his home, 3310 Kingston Road, Ponca City, for crimes associated with the production and distribution of child pornography.

Late Friday (05/02/2014), the OSBI received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that someone had distributed nude images of a prepubescent female child over the Internet. A joint investigation by the OSBI and Ponca City Police resulted in quickly identifying the child in the images later that Friday evening. Investigators continued working the case throughout the weekend and into the following week. Today, an affidavit for arrest was presented to the Kay County District Attorney who filed charges against Bolay for producing child pornography, distributing child pornography, and lewd/indecent acts with a child under the age of 16. Bolay was booked into the Kay County jail where he is being held on $50,000 bond.

Boley was a volunteer youth leader at the Foursquare Gospel Church. The child victim is not a member of that church.
