Idaho man arrested for possession of child pornography
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) – Attorney General Lawrence Wasden has announced investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arrested a Wendell man on Wednesday for alleged possession of child pornography.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho filed a complaint on August 25, 2021, against 47-year-old Troy E. Vanderventer and will prosecute the case.
Idaho State Police and the District 5 Probation and Parole Office assisted the ICAC Unit with the arrest.
A complaint is a means of charging a person with criminal activity. It is not evidence. A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Anyone with information regarding the exploitation of children is encouraged to contact local police, the Attorney General’s ICAC Unit at 208-947-8700, or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678.
The Attorney General’s ICAC Unit works with the Idaho ICAC Task Force, a coalition of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, to investigate and prosecute individuals who use the internet to criminally exploit children.
