Two Kootenai County men were arrested in early October on charges tied to child sexual abuse material, the Idaho Attorney General's office said in a release reported by KHQ on Nov. 10.
Micah Kender, 26, was arrested Oct. 6 on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and visual representations of sexual abuse of children. The attorney general's office says more charges, for possession of abuse material, may follow.
Cassius Spencer, 18, was arrested Oct. 7 on charges of possessing child sexual abuse material and visual representations of sexual abuse of children.
Both arrests were made by the state's Internet Crimes Against Children task force, with help from the FBI, the Kootenai County Prosecutor's Office and the Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene police departments, according to the release.
The two cases were among four task force arrests in October across three Idaho counties. The release did not say which towns the men live in.
Both men are charged, not convicted.
