BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit arrested and secured the conviction of Enrique Galeana, 30, for possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material. Gem County District Judge Brent Whiting sentenced Galeana to 20 years in prison, with eligibility for parole after serving 10 years on July 14, 2025. Upon release, Galeana must register as a sex offender pursuant to Idaho law.
 
“Every predator we remove from our streets makes Idaho families and communities safer,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Our ICAC investigators work relentlessly to protect children in Idaho from those who would exploit and harm them, and we will continue pursuing these criminals with the full force of the law.”
 
In September 2024, Labrador’s ICAC Unit received a CyberTip indicating Galeana was uploading and distributing child sexual abuse material through an account linked to his phone number. After obtaining search warrants and conducting months of surveillance, ICAC investigators searched Galeana’s home, vehicle, and devices.
 
Officers discovered numerous files depicting children ages 4 to 12. During questioning, Galeana admitted attraction to children ages 3-10 and to accessing the material for sexual arousal.
 
During the investigation, authorities learned Galeana was an inadmissible alien and reported him to the appropriate federal authorities.
 
Lead Deputy Attorney General Madison Allen Gourley prosecuted the case. ICAC Investigator Lauren Lane conducted the investigation.
