Press Release from Idaho Attorney General’s Office
BOISE, Idaho — Attorney General Raúl Labrador has announced that Joseph Michael Przybylski, 31, was convicted of one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Child by Possession of Sexually Exploitative Material (Child Pornography) and one count of Enticing a Child Through the Use of the Internet. The Possession of Sexually Exploitative Material is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and the Felony Enticement of a Child is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Przybylski was sentenced on April 14, 2025 by Ada County District Judge Patrick Miller.
In June 2024, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit received a priority CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that an account belonging to Przybylski contained child sexual abuse material (CSAM). After obtaining search warrants, officers found over 400 files of CSAM on Przybylski’s account. During an interview of Przybylski, he admitted to the possession of the CSAM files on the account and admitted to having a sexually explicit chat with a 12-year-old minor female. The CSAM files found on Przybylski’s account depicted minor females ranging from two (2) years old and up. Many of these files depicted young children being raped by adult men. Przybylski was previously convicted of the Possession of Sexually Exploitative Material in 2019 and placed on 10 years of probation.
Attorney General Labrador stated, “I’m grateful to our Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, local law enforcement, and prosecutors for their unwavering commitment to protecting Idaho’s kids and ensuring this offender is removed from society. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to pursue and prosecute child predators to the fullest extent of the law.”
The State recommended the maximum sentences on both counts. Judge Miller sentenced Przybylski to a total of twenty-five (25) years, ordering that he be eligible for parole after serving fifteen (15) years. Przybylski was also ordered to pay a fine and court costs. Upon release, Przybylski will have to remain on the sex offender registry pursuant to Idaho law.
The investigation of this case was led by ICAC Commander Nicholas Edwards. The case was prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Madison Allen.
