On Dec. 21, 2022, investigators executed a search warrant at Miles’s residence and seized his electronic devices. Miles admitted he downloaded CSAM and that he received CSAM from Law. Upon searching Miles’s electronic devices investigators discovered thousands of CSAM images that Miles downloaded from the internet as well as CSAM images that Miles received from Law.
On June 26, Law pleaded guilty to attempted sexual exploitation of a minor child. He is scheduled to be sentenced by Chief Judge Nye on Oct. 8, and faces a minimum of 15 and up to 30 years in federal prison and up to a lifetime of supervised release.
“We are grateful that justice will be served in these cases. But our collaborative work to guard Idaho’s children continues,” said U.S. Attorney Hurwit. “Together with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, my office is committed to tracking down and aggressively pursue anyone in Idaho who creates, possesses, or shares child pornography.”
“This sentence is appropriate for someone who perpetuated child victimization by downloading and sharing thousands of images of exploited children,” said Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Robert Hammer, who oversees HSI operations in the Pacific Northwest. “HSI partnerships with the ICAC Taskforce and Idaho law enforcement are integral in keeping our communities safe from child predators.”
These cases were investigated by the Idaho ICAC Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations, the Idaho Falls Police Department, and the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Paskett is prosecuting these cases.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
DAVID C. NYE CHIEF U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation filed by the United States Magistrate Judge. Dkt. 25. On April 11, 2023, Defendant, Che Tayen Miles appeared before the Magistrate Judge to enter a change of plea pursuant to a written plea agreement. The Magistrate Judge conducted the plea hearing and concluded there is a factual basis for Defendant's plea of guilty to the charges contained in Count One of the Indictment (Dkt. 1), and that it was entered voluntarily and with full knowledge of the consequences. No objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.
The Court now has reviewed the record, and find that the requirements of Rule 11 have been met. See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003). Specifically, the Court finds that the Magistrate Judge adhered to the requirements of Rule 11(b); that under Rule 11(b)(2), the Defendant's plea was voluntary and not the result of force or threats or promises apart from the plea agreement; and that a factual basis for the plea exists. See id. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 25) shall be, and the same is hereby, ADOPTED as the decision of the District Court and incorporated fully herein by reference.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendant's plea of guilty to the crimes charged in Count One of the Indictment (Dkt. 1), shall be, and the same is hereby, ACCEPTED by the Court as a knowing and voluntary plea supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of the offense.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendant, Che Tayen Miles is found to be GUILTY as to the applicable crimes charged in the Indictment. Dkt. 1.
