A member of a white nationalist group Patriot Front is facing up to 30 years behind bars after pleading guilty to child porn charges.
Utah native Jared M. Boyce, 28, was one of 31 members of the extremist group arrested last year after they were found in the rear of a U-Haul van, planning to disrupt and intimidate an LGBTQ pride event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
A month after his arrest, the FBI searched Boyce’s phone and found images of children performing sex acts, according to court documents obtained by Fox13.
Boyce admitted to possessing the images and to sending a photo of his genitals to a 16-year-old girl, according to the court documents.
He has been locked up at the Utah County county jail since March 10, according to jail records.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday.
Boyce is still facing charges of misdemeanor criminal conspiracy in Kootenai County, Idaho.
He is one of only 6 of the 31 to be charged in connection to the pride parade incident.
Only one of the six, Alexander Sisenstein, has been convicted, according to Fox 13.
He pleaded guilty in November to a count of disturbing the peace and was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation and a $500 fine.
The Patriot Front — an organization formed in the aftermath the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va. in 2017 — is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
