A man who received jail time, probation and rehabilitation requirements in an October 2025 sentencing for a charge of sexual exploitation of a child was arrested April 16 on two new counts of the same charge.

A judge issued an arrest warrant for Khidhr Odom, 33, on April 14 that listed two Class 4 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child. The affidavit in support of the warrant stated a tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce that the Summit County Sheriff’s Office received April 13 showed that a device owned by Odom had uploaded two sexually explicit images of minors in early January.

Odom’s previous sentencing was for an April 2024 arrest that also came from a taskforce tip. A plea deal accepted by 5th Judicial District Judge Reed Owens in that case dismissed nine of 10 charges for sexual exploitation of a child, 90 days in jail and a four-year probation period. At that sentencing, Odom’s defense attorney said he was looking to get into a rehabilitation facility, and Odom said he felt ready to do “whatever it takes” to get “my life back.”

The factual basis in the plea agreement described the count to which Odom pleaded guilty, stating he accessed with the intent to view, viewed, possessed or controlled a video that qualifies as sexually exploitative material of a child under 12 years old.

The tip about Odom reportedly uploading sexually explicit material in January was assigned to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office because Odom is registered as sex offender and transient in the county, according to the affidavit. Public defender Carolin Lopez said at an April 17 bond hearing that Odom now lives in Denver. The affidavit also stated that Odom is supposed to register quarterly and failed to do so in January.

Deputies’ investigation into the tip revealed Odom’s device had uploaded two images identified as child sexual abuse material to the internet on Jan. 5. Conditions of Odom’s parole set in October 2025 stated he was only to access the internet to clock in and out for his job.

Odom appeared in court April 17 in custody and remotely from Aurora, where he was arrested, for a bond hearing. The prosecution requested that Summit County Judge Robert Gregory set Odom’s bond at $15,000 and include conditions for sex offenders. The deputy district attorney said Odom has a history of sexual abuse, presents a threat to the community and was on sex offender probation when he reportedly uploaded the images.

Lopez said Odom would not be able to post a $15,000 bond and instead asked for Gregory to set it at $5,000. 

Gregory said he thought an elevated bond seemed appropriate and set the bond at $15,000 cash or surety. He also included probation conditions requested by the prosecution, including GPS monitoring and restrictions on Odom’s access to the internet, recording devices and distance-vision enhancement devices, among other conditions.

According to a Summit County Sheriff’s Office social media post, Odom posted his bond and was released April 18 after being transferred from Aurora to Summit County.

Odom’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 28 at 1:30 p.m. in Gregory’s courtroom.

In a statement about Odom’s arrest, Summit County Sheriff Jaime Fitzsimons said that his office’s partnership with the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce is “critical,” as arrests like Odom’s would not happen without it.

“Protecing children is our highest priority,” Fitzsimons’ statement read.
