On September 10th, 2026, the Missing and Exploited Children Task Force arrested Randall R. Robinson (46) for Federal crimes against children.
The Task Force investigation, led by detectives with Spokane Police Department's Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU), along with Washington State Patrol and federal partners, executed federal search warrants and arrested Robinson at his place of employment for violations of Distribution of Child Pornography, Receipt of Child Pornography, and Possession of Child Pornography.
The Southeastern Regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force also assisted in this investigation.
Robinson is a Registered Sex Offender with prior convictions for child molestation and possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
An arrest and federal charging decision are not a finding of guilt. The accused is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Spokane Police Department or the Washington State Patrol. Suspected child exploitation can also be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1-800-THE-LOST.
