Charges laid in child exploitation case

An Espanola man who used Facebook to encourage sexual acts involving young boys has been caught.  Espanola police were told that a man using the Facebook profile name of Treber Boucher would offer boys drugs or money if they took part in sexual dares.  Police have identified several boys from Espanola, all under 18, who took part in the sexual challenges.  They’ve charged a 42-year-old man with six child luring and child exploitation offenses.  So far they’ve determined the incidents date back to 2012.
