Summit County man pleads guilty to sexual exploitation of a child charges

In August, prosecutors added over a dozen felony sexual exploitation of a child charges to the case of a man arrested on two such charges in April. The man pleaded guilty to two of the charges Nov. 5. Khidhr Odom, 34, appeared in 5th Judicial District Judge Reed Owens’ courtroom Nov. 5, and defense attorney Beth Dombroski told Owens that the defense and prosecution had a plea agreement. Deputy district attorney Samuel Martinez said the agreement would require a 10-14 year prison sentence. Owens read a description of the plea agreement, which stated Odom would plead guilty to one Class 3 felony count of sexual exploitation of a child and one Class 4 felony count of the same charge. The agreement would dismiss the other 19 charges and require three years of parole when Odom leaves the department of corrections, Owens said. Under the agreement, Owens said, Odom would face sentencing for another sexual exploitation of a child case for which he received a deferred sentence in October 2025.
