A 42-year-old Moscow man is being held on a $500,000 bond after being
charged with multiple felonies related to child sexual abuse and
pornography. According to Moscow Police Chief David Duke, Brian Taylor
allegedly photographed and videotaped a female juvenile and two male
juveniles - between the ages of 5 and 11 - over a period of several months.

The original allegation was brought forward by a student who told her
elementary school counselor about inappropriate touching, photographs, and
other activities that had taken place involving Taylor, according to Duke,
who says they served a search warrant on Taylor's trailer, but only
discovered one picture on a camera. That warrant was served on May 21st,
according to court records.

Investigators then decided to place the child in a forensic interview with
a specialist in Spokane, and it was there that more information was
divulged.

A second warrant was served on Monday and officers found a camera hidden on
a bookshelf, along with two memory cards hidden in a bag of rice in
Taylor's kitchen. Once the officers returned to the police department, they
discovered multiple images and videos of child sexual abuse and pornography
and they recognized the alleged victims.

Taylor was arrested Tuesday on three counts of sexual abuse of a child
under the age of 16; sexual exploitation of a child, possession of child
pornography; sexual exploitation of a child, manufacture pornography; three
counts of lewd conduct with a minor child under 16; rape; two counts of
male rape; forcible sexual penetration by a foreigh object; possession of a
controlled substance-methamphetamine; and possession of drug
paraphernalia-meth and marijuana pipes.

Duke says the alleged victims were local, and they "don't think there are
any additional victims."

Meanwhile, a Latah County man who was also being investigated as part of
this case killed himself in late May.
