US EditionBoise Priest Who Lived in ‘World of Satanism and Pornography’ Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison
- Rev. W. Thomas Faucher was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Thursday by an Idaho judge for possessing child pornography and related offenses.
- Investigators began examining Faucher after an anonymous tip about child sexual images sent from his email account late last year, leading to his September guilty plea to five felonies.
- Authorities found over 2,500 files of violent child pornography on Faucher’s devices, and he admitted to satanic desires and fantasies involving sexual abuse of minors.
- Faucher called himself "one really sick puppy" during sentencing and must register as a sex offender; the judge denied parole citing analysts’ conclusion that he likely would reoffend.
- The Boise Diocese plans to defrock Faucher, and the case marked a difficult investigation for Idaho’s ICAC Unit while highlighting the impact of child pornography crimes.
