BOISE, ID – Investigators with the Idaho Attorney General’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arrested a 30-year-old Emmett man on Thursday for alleged sexual exploitation of a child, according to a release from Attorney General Raúl Labrador.
Kolby Jake Amy has been charged with ten counts of possession of child sexual exploitation material. The arrest followed an ICAC-led investigation supported by officers from the Emmett Police Department, Nampa Police Department, Canyon County Sheriff’s Office, and the Idaho State Police.
In the announcement, Attorney General Labrador said the case underscores the importance of statewide collaboration in protecting children from online abuse.
“This arrest reflects the dedication of our ICAC team and the agencies working together across Idaho to keep children safe,” Labrador stated. “Our ICAC investigators do critical work every day to protect our communities.”
Authorities encourage anyone with information related to the exploitation of children to contact local law enforcement, 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 Office noted that the charges are accusations, and Amy is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
