A Utah man and reported member of a white supremacy group who has pleaded guilty to 10 counts related to child pornography and one count of criminal mischief will receive sentencing on Tuesday, May 30. Jared Michael Boyce, 28, pleaded guilty in April to nine counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony, and one count of dealing in material harmful to a minor, a misdemeanor. He also pleaded guilty and will be sentenced for one count of criminal mischief, a class B misdemeanor, after he reportedly vandalized a coffee shop bathroom with white supremacy graffiti. In June 2022, Boyce was allegedly part of 31 members of a white supremacist hate group called the Patriot Front who were arrested near a pride event in Idaho after police say they were found packed into the back of a U-haul truck with riot gear and face coverings. While the group members came from 11 different states, Boyce was part of six Utahns who were arrested that day and charged with criminal conspiracy in Idaho. In July 2022, Boyce’s phone was seized and searched by the FBI as part of an investigation. While searching the phone, authorities reported unexpectedly finding 22 images of child sexual abuse material with descriptions written underneath. Boyce then allegedly told police “that he engages in sexually themed conversations about children with other people in an online chat,” court documents state. He also reportedly admitted to receiving sexually explicit images of children. Police say they then searched his other phone and found a conversation with a 16-year-old girl where he sent her an explicit image.
