Nicholas Benjamin Ringo is listed on the Canyon County jail roster on three criminal charges, with an arrest date of August 13, 2026. The roster, published by Canyon County, names the Nampa Police Department as the arresting agency and gives the Canyon County Jail as the holding facility.

The three charges the roster lists, with the citations it publishes for each, are statutory rape under Idaho Code 18-6101(1); lewd conduct with a child under 16 under Idaho Code 18-1508; and sexual abuse of a child under 16 under Idaho Code 18-1506(1)(c), which the roster records in the form of causing or permitting a child to witness an act of sexual conduct. The roster lists no bond for any of the three, and publishes no case number, docket number or court.

Under the Idaho Code, Section 18-6101 defines rape as penetration accomplished under any of ten enumerated circumstances; the first, which the roster cites here, is where the victim is under 16 years of age, the accused is 18 or older, and the two are not lawfully married. Section 18-1508 covers a lewd or lascivious act upon or with the body of a minor child under 16 committed with intent to arouse sexual desires, and states a penalty of imprisonment for a term of not more than life. Section 18-1506 applies to a person 18 or older acting with intent to gratify sexual desire, and its subsection (1)(c) covers inducing, causing or permitting a minor child to witness an act of sexual conduct; the statute states a penalty not to exceed 25 years. Those penalties are what the statutes provide upon conviction, and are not statements about this case.

The county's record states no felony class for any of the three charges, so the statutory descriptions above are taken from the Idaho Code the roster itself cites rather than from the county's record.

No disposition is recorded. The available records establish a booking and three charges and nothing beyond that: no plea, no finding, no hearing outcome and no court filing is reflected in what the county publishes.

A booking record describes allegations made by law enforcement. It does not establish guilt and it is not a conviction. Ringo is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
