Devin Terrance Pickler, a 40-year-old man from Moscow, Idaho, was involved in a disturbing case of child pornography. In the summer of 2024, law enforcement received a tip about a social media account containing suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which led them to Pickler. He had uploaded hundreds of CSAM files to online groups and posted messages about his desire to commit sexual offenses against children. The investigation also found that Pickler had saved photographs of children taken covertly at a local street market.
A search of Pickler’s residence in early 2025 uncovered numerous electronic devices containing CSAM, as well as ceramic figurines of children in erotic poses and a child-sized sex doll. The evidence was overwhelming, and Pickler was sentenced to 210 months in federal prison for receipt of child pornography.
The case was investigated by the Moscow Police Department, the Latah regional SWAT team, the Lewiston Police Department, the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis commended the work of these agencies, which led to the charges against Pickler.
As part of his sentence, Pickler will be required to register as a sex offender and will be placed on supervised release for the rest of his life following completion of his prison sentence. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
