The U.S. Attorney's Report
Thanks to nearly $1 million in federal grant money and tremendous cooperation among state, federal and local law enforcement officers, two Idaho Sex Offender Watch Task Forces – one in northern Idaho and one in southern Idaho – have made great strides in ensuring compliance with sex offender registration laws. More importantly, the Task Forces have taken significant steps to protect Idaho’s children from sexual predators, shielding them from lifelong injury. The United States Attorney’s Office is proud to be part of Idaho Sex Offender Watch Task Forces’ executive board and a strong supporter of their efforts.
The original Idaho Sex Offender Watch Task Force, funded in the fall of 2010 through a grant obtained by Canyon County, prosecuted more than 30 sex offenders on state and federal charges in 2011. The charges included failure to register, internet enticement and possession of child pornography. Three more have pleaded guilty in federal court in 2012. The Idaho Sex Offender Watch Task Force investigator, in coordination with other law enforcement officers in Ada, Bannock and Canyon counties conducted more than 500 compliance checks to ensure that known sex offenders were in fact living at the addresses they provided to law enforcement in the registration process.
