POCATELLO, Idaho - A 24-year-old Idaho Falls man, Jared Michael Crow, was sentenced to 257 months in federal prison for coercion and enticement of a minor.
According to court records, the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office began investigating Crow on March 9, 2022, after receiving a report that he was having sexual conversations with minors at a high school in Idaho Falls. The case was referred for further investigation to the Idaho Crimes against Children Task (ICAC) Taskforce and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Eight minor-aged victims between the ages of 14 and 16 were identified. The investigation revealed that Crow followed a consistent predatory pattern of contacting minor females and providing alcohol, vape pens, and cash in exchange for sexually explicit images and sexual encounters.
“These child predators sought to exploit the most vulnerable, committing grave injustices that robs the victims of their youth,” said Special Agent in Charge Robert Hammer, who oversees HSI operations in the Pacific Northwest. “Through our law enforcement and private sector partnerships, we will relentlessly pursue those that commit child exploitation crimes, ensuring they face the full extent of the law.”
Chief U.S. District Judge David C. Nye also ordered that Crow be placed on supervised release for fifteen years following his prison sentence.
Crow, of Idaho Falls, was sentenced on March 26, 2024, in a federal court in Idaho. He was charged with coercion and enticement of a minor and faced a sentence of up to life in prison.
The investigation was conducted by the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office, the Idaho Crimes against Children Task (ICAC) Taskforce, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Idaho.
