BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced that investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arrested 42-year-old Jeremey Wakeley on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, on four counts of possession of child sexual exploitation material and one count of distribution of child sexual exploitation material. At the time of his arrest, Wakeley was employed as a bus driver with a company that contracts with local schools.
“Yesterday, my ICAC Unit arrested a man who worked as a local school bus driver in the Treasure Valley,” said Attorney General Labrador. “We’ve found no evidence of any local victims at this time, but parents deserve to know that my team is working overtime to protect Idaho’s children. I want to thank our law enforcement partners for their help with this arrest.”
The ICAC Unit was assisted by the Caldwell Police Department, Canyon County Sheriff’s Office, Nampa Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations.
At this time, investigators have found no evidence of any local victims. 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.
The charges listed above are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
