Investigators believe there could be hundreds of victims across the country in a child pornography case related to the arrest of a 41-year-old Hayden man.

About 24,000 images of children, including hundreds that were of naked kids, were seized from electronic devices owned by Jason C. McGovern, said Paul Farina, a local investigator with the state's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.

Farina said it is one of the largest, if not the largest, child porn cases he's handled in the six years he's been focusing on such crimes/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
