A non-binary cabaret singer and penis-shaped popsicle vendor has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for crimes related to creating and selling child pornography on OnlyFans and other pornography sites. A judge ordered that Wyatt Christopher Maxwell, 25, be placed in a prison that can provide him with “gender affirming care.”
Authorities were first tipped off to Maxwell’s activities in 2021 after police became aware he was selling illegal content on OnlyFans and JustForFans, two subscription-based platforms known for having large pornography marketplaces. Maxwell had been creating abuse content with a 16-year-old boy from Overland Park, Kansas, and selling videos of the abuse. Police state that Maxwell admitted to making between $3,000 and $10,000 per month from the content, which was also advertised on X (formerly Twitter) using incest themes.
During a police interview, Maxwell confirmed that he had produced around 20 videos where he sexually abused the minor, which were then uploaded to various pornography sites. As confirmed by the victim, the videos, which had been created over a period of several months, were produced at Maxwell’s home address, while others were filmed outdoors at a local park. However, when police received access to Maxwell’s phone, they found that he had at least 96 videos featuring the victim, along with 24 images.
Also found on his phone was a photograph of the minor’s trainee driving permit, confirming that Maxwell had been fully aware of the victim’s age. It is unclear how Maxwell met his victim.
In total, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Western Missouri confirmed that Maxwell made almost $53,000 in total across the two platforms, with the vast majority of the payments coming from OnlyFans.
Despite confessing to authorities of his crimes in 2021, Maxwell was not immediately detained, and instead moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he changed his name to “Louis Whitaker” and became a lounge singer with a very public profile.
Maxwell began performing regularly at the TripAdvisor-awarded Act2PV Theater and Bar in Puerto Vallarta where, according to reviews, he focused primarily on belting out Broadway classics that were originally written for female singers. His performances were largely catered to a gay male audience, and he routinely hosted gay-friendly brunches and shows.
While still being investigated by American police, Maxwell boasted of being occupied with “shows, gym, Spanish class, brunch, family, friends, and events” in Puerto Vallarta. While in the city, he also launched a Pride-themed popsicle business called “Dicksicles,” through which he sold penis-shaped ice cream, and “XXX sushi dinners” wherein he served sushi on men’s naked bodies.
Maxwell also boasted of being a sperm donor, contributing to the fertilization of 15 eggs.
Maxwell was re-apprehended by authorities in February of 2023, just days after his final performance in Puerto Vallarta. He struck a deal in which he pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to produce child pornography in exchange for the remainder of the charges against him to be dropped. Those charges included distribution of child pornography, transportation of a minor, and possession of child pornography.
Maxwell received 20 years in federal prison without the possibility of parole for his crimes. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $10,000, and, following his release, will be required to register as a sex offender.
Maxwell was handed the sentence on Wednesday by US District Judge Roseann A. Ketchmark. But despite committing the horrendous crimes, the court recommended that Maxwell be sent to federal prisons in Texas or Colorado in order to allow him to continue receiving “gender affirming care.”
In the press release on his sentence, the US Department of Justice referred to Maxwell using “they/them” pronouns and described him as a “non-binary transgender individual.”
