[BOISE] - Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force arrested fifty-six-year-old (56) Daniel DeKruyf in Twin Falls County on Thursday, August 15th, 2024, for 20 counts of Sexual Exploitation of a child.

Agencies that assisted the ICAC Task Force were Rupert Police Department, Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office, Jerome Police Department, and Electronic Storage Detection K9's from the Idaho Falls Police Department and Rupert Police Department.

"Every arrest our ICAC Task Force makes represents an untold number of exploited and abused kids," said Attorney General Labrador. "It's our job to investigate, arrest, and prosecute these predators and keep them out of our neighborhoods. I'm grateful for the hard work done by our ICAC Task Force and for the partnerships they are building around our state. Each new partner agency helps to make our communities safer."

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.
