IONA Deputies arrested an Iona man who they say tried to cover up a child pornography habit.
Marco Antonio Hernandez-Maldonado, 26, is charged with felony child pornography and felony destruction of evidence.
The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office began investigating him after a woman discovered his search history and contacted authorities, according to an affidavit of probable cause obtained by EastIdahoNews.com.
In October 2020, Hernandez-Maldonado arrived at the Bonneville County Courthouse and told investigators that while surfing the internet for car parts, he received an “FBI warning box” on his phone stating there is pornography on it. Hernandez-Maldonado denied searching for the sexually exploitive images and he gave his phone to deputies.
