BOISE, Idaho — After a yearlong investigation, a 72-year-old Boise man has been arrested on child porn charges, according to Boise Police.
The investigation into the activities of Kenneth Coulter began in February of 2019 after police received a tip.
Detectives forwarded their report to the Ada County prosecutor and a warrant was issued for Colter's arrest.
He is charged with 8 counts of possession of child sexually exploitative material. Investigators say the material did not involve any local victims.
Coulter was arrested by the members of the United States Marshals Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force Tuesday morning and booked into the Ada County Jail. He has since posted bond and been released.
A spokesman for the Idaho National Guard said Coulter was a civilian employee of the Idaho Military Division and was employed for roughly two years. They issued this statement to the media Tuesday:
"Public safety is a top priority for the Idaho Military Division. We take this matter extremely seriously. As of 2/4/20, the IMD has terminated all employment agreements with Mr. Coulter. Mr. Coulter served as a business manager and program developer for the IMD. The IMD will support and fully cooperate with law enforcement and federal officials on this matter."
They added that nothing in Coulter's background raised any red flags to the IMD before he was hired.
Coulter worked at Gowen Field but primarily with people out in the community to raise funds for the programs he was involved with. He did not work with children.
