Post Falls man gets 40 years for child sexual abuse convictions
Jeremiah David Kamp will serve 40 years after convictions tied to two child victims in Post Falls, ending a case that moved through Kootenai County District Court.
A Post Falls man will spend 40 years in prison after a Kootenai County jury conviction on two felony counts of sexual abuse of a minor child under 16.
Jeremiah David Kamp, 31, was sentenced Wednesday, May 28, after the court found him guilty in a case involving two juvenile victims who were 11 and 13 at the time of the offenses. Prosecutors said the abuse occurred between November 2024 and June 2025.
The sentence means Kamp will remain incarcerated for decades, with the case now shifting from prosecution to long-term confinement and supervision within Idaho’s prison system. The Idaho Department of Correction listed Kamp, now 32, as in custody at the Kootenai County Jail.
Kamp’s case moved through a process that is common in serious child abuse prosecutions in Kootenai County: a grand jury indictment, an arrest warrant and a high bail set by the court. Records show he was indicted Aug. 14, 2025, and arrested the next day. Local court reporting said a judge set his bail at $500,000.
At the time of his arrest, Kamp was already on probation for a prior felony possession-of-a-controlled-substance case. That detail placed the new allegations against him in the context of an existing criminal record, a factor that often heightens concern for prosecutors and judges handling child exploitation and abuse cases.
The Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office brought the charges in district court, which handles felony cases for one of the five counties in Idaho’s First Judicial District. The district also includes Benewah, Bonner, Boundary and Shoshone counties.
The conviction closes a case that drew into the criminal courts two child victims from the Kootenai County area and ends with a prison term that will keep Kamp out of the community for a substantial period. For local authorities, it is another example of how child sexual abuse cases are pursued through indictment, arrest, trial and sentencing in the county’s felony court system.
