MOSCOW - The sentencing for a 64-year-old Moscow man who admitted to possessing child pornography has been delayed until next month.
William M. (Milo) Griffin was initially scheduled to be sentenced Thursday by Senior Judge James F. Judd of Boise as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. The hearing has been postponed until 9:30 a.m. Sept. 22 in Latah County 2nd District Court.
Griffin, who is the brother of retired 2nd District Court Judge Michael J. Griffin, pleaded guilty earlier this summer to three felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child for willfully possessing an image and two videos depicting sexually explicit content involving girls ages 3 to 11. The charges reportedly stem from an investigation in May 2014 that showed a direct download for child pornography to Milo Griffin's computer, according to court records.
Judd was appointed to preside over Milo Griffin's case after Judge John R. Stegner recused himself from the matter, citing his relationship with Michael Griffin. Michael Griffin served as a magistrate and District Court judge for 32 years in Idaho, Lewis and Clearwater counties - three of the five counties in Idaho's 2nd Judicial District.
Idaho Deputy Attorney General Casey Hemmer is handling the prosecution's case.
