BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced that investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arrested 22-year-old Evan Swope on Thursday, March 5th, 2026, on 11 counts of possession of child sexual exploitation material.
The ICAC Unit was assisted in this arrest by the Post Falls Police Department, Moscow Police Department, Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Kootenai County Joint SWAT Team, Coeur d’Alene Police Department CAT Team, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The charges listed above are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
“Every arrest we make is a step toward protecting Idaho children from exploitation,” said Attorney General Labrador. “I’m grateful for the hard work of our ICAC investigators and the partnerships we’ve built with law enforcement agencies across the state to protect children.”
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.
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.
