3 men, 2 from Boise and 1 from Vale, Oregon, have been arrested on federal charges and are currently being held in the Ada County Jail. The remaining 5 men have been arrested on state charges relating to enticement and sexual exploitation of a child.
On Friday and Saturday, Boise Police in concert with partner agencies from Meridian Police, Garden City Police, Ada County Sheriff’s Office, Homeland Security, the Idaho Attorney General, ICAC taskforce, and others coordinated through a large scale investigation to arrest these 8 people for the enticement or exploitation of children.
