Roy Shoop, a 60-year-old pastor from Inola, is set to be sentenced on November 26 for raping and inappropriately touching young girls.
A Rogers County jury found him guilty on October 9 and recommended he spend 35 years in prison and pay $30,000 in fines.
“Roy Shoop will die in a cage,” said Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton.
Shoop and his wife, Diana, trained children for rodeo contests, according to court filings.
Prosecutors claim that from 2018 to 2020, he preyed on each of his 3 young victims when they were at his house, working with his horses and receiving barrel racing lessons.
Court filings show that none of the 3 girls knew one another.
They were all between the ages of 12 and 15, when Shoop victimized them.
Walton described Shoop as a “pissant predator” who used his pulpit to abuse children.
Walton resides in Inola.
He stated that, while Inola is a good community, those who backed Shoop until the end had formed a cult-like mindset.
Prosecutors from District Attorney Matt Ballard’s office handled the case.
Spokesperson Michelle Lowry said she was delighted the jury returned a guilty conviction because it demonstrated to victims that law enforcement will deliver justice.
