[BOISE] - Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force arrested thirty-three-year-old Eduardo Tavera on Thursday, September 12th, 2024, for one (1) count of distribution and four (4) counts of possession of child sexual exploitation material.

"Our network of partnerships and agencies across the state are showing that, together, we can make a difference in protecting children," said Attorney General Labrador. "We are holding these predators accountable for their crimes and removing them from our communities."

Agencies that assisted the ICAC Task Force were the Nampa Police Department and Canyon County Prosecutor's Office.

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.

Parents, educators, and law enforcement officials can find more information and helpful resources at the ICAC website, ICACIdaho.org.
