A Texas man has been identified and charged with allegedly producing child pornography, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Christopher Lynn Driskill, 48, originally listed on the FBI’s most wanted list as John Doe 49, was believed to have produced child pornography from 2017 to 2024, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas.
FBI agents were able to identify Driskill on November 18th and charged him with production of child pornography and arrested him on November 26th.
Court documents show that in July 2024, child sexual abuse material posted on the dark web was referred to the FBI’s Victim Identification Program. The videos displayed a male sexually assaulting a prepubescent male and several tattoos can be seen, including the word “DABBY” on his chest,” the number “197x” on his left bicep, the words “CAST NO STONES” on his left forearm, and a Texas flag in the shape of a head on his right forearm.

In September 2024, a former dating partner had also come forward to report to the Coleman Police Department that Driskill had drunkenly confessed to molesting a child and recording it. Those officers were able to meet with the child, who did not make an outcry.
They interviewed Driskill on camera, who denied the allegations, claiming his former partner was upset over a bad breakup. Because officials had no other evidence, the case was closed.

In the recorded interview, police officials noted that the tattoos “CAST NO STONES” on his left forearm, a 1975 tattoo on his left bicep, and part of a Texas flag in the shape of a head on his right forearm were visible.
Still images from the interview were then uploaded to a database by the FBI.
The FBI were able to match tattoos via social media with those seen in the assault video. They also said that the profile picture appeared similar to the images of the subject in the child sexual abuse material.

Utilizing that information, they traced the account back to Driskill who was living in Coleman, Texas with his parents.

In November, Coleman Police Department were also made aware of the FBI investigation into a possible molestation and compared the footage of their interview allegedly matching the face and tattoos.
If convicted, Driskill faces up to 30 years in federal prison.
The Texas Tribune redesigned its Public Schools Explorer to add more timely data and features to help families and teachers navigate the state’s sprawling public school system.
In all, Texas has 1,202 school districts and 9,113 public schools, including hundreds of charter schools and alternative campuses. About 5.5 million students attend public schools in Texas, and our explorer includes information on all of them.
It’s an overwhelming amount of data, which is why our journalists focused on organizing the site in a more intuitive way. We included more context to explain what the numbers mean and why they matter. In addition, each school’s performance is compared against statewide and regional trends, which will help families better understand how their child’s school is performing.
We feel this is the perfect time to launch a new site. Parents and families need to be able to see the options available for their children’s education, especially as school choice expands in Texas. We’re showing readers their local campus and nearby campuses, including traditional school districts and charter schools. We show how their school demographics, funding and other characteristics have changed over time to help illustrate broader trends.
We also hope this tool will be useful to teachers, school staff, policymakers and anyone curious about Texas education — including those who need accurate and reliable data to understand how policy impacts students.
Each school district and campus has its own page on the site. Within those pages, data is now organized into a handful categories, including student demographics, classroom experience, opportunities and outcomes, and more. Each category has its own URL, making it easier to share information that matters the most.
We’ve added new data from the Texas Education Agency, including funding information for school districts to help readers better understand where and how schools get money. We also redesigned the districts page to make it easier to find districts using different filters.
In addition to these new features, our site will be more up to date than ever before. Previously, the explorer was updated once a year. Now we can integrate new data as soon as the state releases it, with finance numbers expected in the spring and state accountability ratings in August.
This new explorer builds on the Data Visuals team’s ongoing work covering public education issues affecting students and teachers across the state. In a recent story, we showed how low-income students are being left behind in higher education outcomes and included a lookup tool to help readers explore the data in their own communities.
If you have feedback, email us at schools-feedback@texastribune.org. Also, stay tuned for more updates — we plan to release new features soon. After exploring the new tool, be sure to check out the Tribune’s extensive public education coverage for more on how these issues are playing out across the state.
This project is supported in part by Greater Texas Foundation and Houston Endowment.
