Attorney General Labrador’s ICAC Unit Arrests Canyon County Man for Alleged Sexual Exploitation of a Child

BOISE - Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arrested a Nampa man on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, for alleged sexual exploitation of a child.

On Monday October 13th, 2025, the Idaho ICAC Task Force received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The report, submitted by Snapchat, indicated "newly produced and/or homemade content" suggesting recent hands-on sexual abuse of a child. The swift action of the ICAC Task Force resulted in an arrest and identification of a child victim the next day.

Twenty-five-year-old Steven Vasquez was charged with 6 counts of production of child sexual exploitation material and 6 counts of distribution of child sexual exploitation material. During their initial court appearance in Canyon County, bond was set at 2 million dollars.

"Our ICAC investigators acted within 24 hours to stop alleged ongoing abuse and protect a child," said Attorney General Labrador. "Swift action by our growing statewide network of law enforcement partners makes Idaho safer for children. We will continue working relentlessly with every agency committed to defending our most vulnerable from those who would exploit them."

The ICAC unit was assisted by the Nampa Police Department including their Specialized Enforcement Team (SET), Canyon County Sheriff's Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, School Resource Officers from Middleton Police Department and the Nampa Police Department were especially helpful in this investigation.

Anyone with information regarding the exploitation of children is encouraged to contact local police, 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 ICAC Unit works with the Idaho ICAC Task Force, a coalition of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, to investigate and prosecute individuals who use the internet to criminally exploit children.
