(Boise) – Attorney General Lawrence Wasden has announced investigators with his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arrested a Mountain Home man Friday, July 13, for alleged Sexual Exploitation of a Child.

33-year-old Johnathon M. Tucker was booked into the Elmore County Jail following his arrest. The investigation began after the ICAC Unit received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

The Mountain Home Police Department, Elmore County Prosecutor’s Office, United States Postal Inspection Service and Air Force Office of Special Investigations all assisted.

Anyone with information regarding the exploitation of children is encouraged to contact local police, the Attorney General’s ICAC Unit at 208-334-4527, 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.
