Randi Cook (Brown Co. Jail)
(WTAQ-WLUK) — An Oklahoma woman was arrested, accused of traveling to Neenah and sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl.
Randi L. Cook, 24, of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, is charged with interstate travel with intent to engage in a sexual act with a minor, production of child pornography, and coercing or enticing a minor for unlawful sexual activity.
Cook made an initial appearance in federal court in Green Bay on Tuesday. She remains in custody. She returns to court Jan. 13 for a preliminary examination, court records show.
According to the criminal complaint, Cook – who is married and has a child – met the girl on TikTok.
Despite knowing of the age difference, Cook pursued the teen, although the victim “was reluctant to establish a relationship with Cook due to the notable age gap,” the complaint says.
Cook travelled to Wisconsin and attended a high school band performance at Neenah High School before the two went to a rental property, where sexual contact allegedly took place.
The victim “has said they feel they have been manipulated by Cook throughout their relationship as every time she has attempted to end contact with Cook, she manipulates (the victim) to come back and continue the relationship,” the complaint states.
Cook admitted to police she exchanged sexually-explicit videos and photos with the teen, and they had physical sexual contact, the complaint says.
