Alleged 'boogaloo' member accused in riot plot charged with sexual exploitation of children - NBC News

A man alleged to be tied to the far-right "boogaloo" movement, already charged with plotting to provoke violence at Las Vegas protests, has now been accused of child sexual exploitation, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Stephen Parshall, 35, who is also known as "Kiwi," was charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children after investigators allegedly found 10 images of child pornography on his cell phone, the U.S.

Parshall was one of three people, all of whom are alleged to be members of the "boogaloo" movement, who have been charged with trying to exploit protests in Las Vegas in late May, following the death of George Floyd, with a plan to incite violence.

In early June, federal and state authorities charged three men with alleged ties to the movement, including Parshall, and accused them of a conspiracy to cause violence during protests in May in Las Vegas, the U.S.

If convicted on the new charge of sexual exploitation of children, the minimum sentence is 15 years in prison and the maximum is 30 years, prosecutors said.
