AMMON — A 22-year-old man who allegedly looked at child pornography while at work is scheduled to go to trial.

Hall’s computer was seized by law enforcement. A deputy with Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office searched Hall’s tablet and found sexually explicit videos involving children as young as five years old, according to court documents. Some of the videos show adults sexually assaulting children.
Idaho Falls police officers interviewed Hall and he said the images were uploaded from his home in Ammon. Hall admitted to an officer that he had these images on his devices, documents said.
Hall posted bond in October and appeared in court in a suit and tie on Tuesday. He told Pickett he knew what was happening during the arraignment and understood his charges.
A trial has been scheduled for March 27 at the Bonneville County Courthouse.
