A 62-year-old Coeur d’Alene man arrested a block east of Woodland Middle School in January on child pornography charges accepted a plea bargain that could send him to prison for three years.

William R. Carr accepted a plea agreement that calls for an imposed three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

Carr was arrested at his home on the 2200 block of Plymouth Circle after he gave up his phone Jan. 15 to investigators from an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) team.

Officers were informed he used his cell phone to download child porn, according to a police report.

Carr was initially held on $100,000 bail at the Kootenai County jail on 10 charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

As part of the plea bargain, Kootenai County prosecutors said they would not file additional charges, or turn the case over to federal investigators, and Carr would not be allowed once incarcerated to file a Rule 35 motion, which asks the court for leniency.

Police said they received a tip in January from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which learned that child pornography had been uploaded to a Google Drive at a Plymouth Circle residence, which is a block east of Woodland Middle School.

When officers met Carr to check on the information, Carr invited them into his home and allowed police to conduct manual review of his cell phone, according to a report. He also consented to let police take the phone for a forensics examination. During that examination, investigators found more than 228 pictures of child pornography.

“The vast majority of these photographs featured prepubescent children,” according to the report. “Some of the photographs featured prepubescent children being sexually molested.”

Carr will be sentenced May 5 in Coeur d’Alene’s First District Court.
