Man sentenced after downloading child pornography while detectives were already searching his other devices

REXBURG — A 19-year-old Rexburg man was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to downloading child pornography.

District Judge Steven Boyce sentenced Kyle Allan to 2.5 to 10 years in prison. He will be given credit for time already served, be required to register as a sex offender, and pay at least $1,091 in court fines and fees.

Allan was initially charged in August 2024 with 10 counts of felony possession or accessing child sexually exploitative material.

In May, Allan signed a plea agreement, agreeing to plead guilty to two of the counts. The prosecution agreed to drop the remaining counts and recommend a minimum of 2.5 years and a maximum of 10 years in prison at sentencing.

The plea agreement was non-binding, meaning that Boyce did not have to agree to either party’s recommend
