BOISE, ID – On Friday, Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced that 64-year-old Terry Samuel Stoner was convicted of one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Child by Possession of Sexually Exploitative Material (Child Pornography) and one count of Visual Representation of the Sexual Abuse of Children (Computer-Generated Child Pornography). The Possession of Sexually Exploitative Material is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Visual Representation of the Sexual Abuse of Children is a new felony in Idaho having become law in 2024 and is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Stoner was sentenced on March 24, 2025, by Elmore County District Judge Theodore Fleming.
“Removing these offenders from our communities is a top priority,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Our ICAC prosecutors and investigators work tirelessly to deliver justice for these tragically young victims of abuse and I’m grateful for the broad partnerships that have been built across the state to protect kids. I’m also pleased to see the application of Idaho’s new law that criminalizes computer-generated images of child sexual abuse. As we saw in this case, and in many of our cases, computer-generated images of child sexual abuse often go hand in hand with the victimization of young children.”
In approximately May 2024, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit received multiple CyberTips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that files containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) were being uploaded from an I.P. address associated with Stoner’s place of residence in Hammett, ID. After obtaining a search warrant, investigators searched Stoner’s home and devices, locating multiple files of CSAM. Many of the files found depicted minor females aged approximately 2 years old to 12 years old engaged in sex acts with adults. Two of the files were computer-generated images depicting the sexual abuse of a female child aged approximately 8 years old to 12 years old.
Judge Fleming sentenced Stoner to a total of 15 years in prison, ordering he be eligible for parole after serving 2 years. Stoner was also ordered to pay court costs. Upon release, Stoner will have to register as a sex offender pursuant to Idaho law.
Senior Investigator Greg Lindsay in the Idaho Attorney General’s ICAC Unit led the investigation. The case was prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Madison Allen.
