Michael Bo Peacock was a extremely successful basketball coach, coaching the True Texas Hoops, a basketball academy, and also serving as the head coach at Grapevine Faith Christian School in Texas. He was also a co-conspirator in a multi-state conspiracy to extort children to produce child sexual abuse material which he and his co-conspirator uploaded and shared.
In September, 2025, he was sentenced to forty years in prison followed by twenty years supervised release for his role in this conspiracy. This was after he pleaded guilty to one count of of conspiracy to produce child pornography [child sexual abuse material] and one count of enticing a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. His partern in the conspiracy was Daniel Perryman Collins of Louisiana. Collins is not on the list as he held no position of trust or power.
The two of them used threats and extortion to force children to produce child sexual abuse material. Between them, they exploited more than one hundred children, causing those children to produce CSAM that Collins and Peacock loaded to an overseas cloud account with an encryption key that allowed them to view each other’s files.
