Oklahoma Attorney General seal
OKLAHOMA CITY (April 21, 2026) – An Oklahoma man who was added to Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s 10 Most Wanted list last July has been convicted of failing to register as a sex offender.
Anthony Lennon, formerly of Moore, was found guilty Friday by a federal jury. In 2008, he was convicted of five counts of aggravated possession of child pornography, and in 2012 he vanished. Lennon spent 13 years on the run before he was captured in upstate New York last October, just three months after he was featured on Drummond’s 10 Most Wanted list.
Lennon had been living in New York under the alias “Justin Phillips.” His identity was confirmed through fingerprint analysis.
“Anthony Lennon evaded justice for too long, but now he is facing the consequences of his actions,” Drummond said. “I appreciate the work of our law enforcement partners to capture this fugitive and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for their successful prosecution.”
Lennon faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 at sentencing.
