    A member of a white nationalist group Patriot Front is facing up to 30 years behind bars after pleading guilty to child porn charges.

    Utah native Jared M. Boyce, 28, was one of 31 members of the extremist group arrested last year after they were found in the rear of a U-Haul van, planning to disrupt and intimidate an LGBTQ pride event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

    A month after his arrest, the FBI searched Boyce’s phone and found images of children performing sex acts, according to court documents obtained by Fox13.

    Boyce admitted to possessing the images and to sending a photo of his genitals to a 16-year-old girl, according to the court documents.

    He has been locked up at the Utah County jail since March 10, according to jail records.

    He is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday.
