POST FALLS — A Post Falls man was arrested this week for child molestation and enticement crimes following a lengthy investigation by Post Falls detectives.
Kristofer Jon Siebers, 51, was arrested for two counts of lewd conduct with a minor child, one count of sexual abuse of a minor child and one count of enticing a child using the internet.
He was booked into Kootenai County Jail on Thursday and arraigned Friday. Bond was set at $500,000.
The Post Falls Police Department’s investigation revealed Siebers met at least one underage male online and engaged in sexual activity with him at various locations throughout Kootenai County.
“As with most cyber-related crimes, legal process was served on an electronic service provider to gather evidence to confirm Siebers’ identity,” said a Post Falls PD news release. “Additionally, digital forensic analysis was conducted in furtherance of the case.”
An undercover chat operation was conducted this week during which detectives pretended to be an underage child.
“Siebers enticed the child to come to his workplace in Coeur d’Alene,” police said in the news release. “Instead of a child, Siebers was confronted by detectives and was taken into custody.”
Based on information gleaned when detectives interviewed Seibers, police believe Siebers has other child victims.
Parents of victims or anyone else with information on this case are encouraged to contact Detective Sean Calderwood at 208-773-3517 or [email protected].
