Judge calls defendant a “heavy” risk to society
BOISE, ID, Nov. 12, 2025 — Ryan Stephen Patania, 35, was sentenced today by the Honorable Ada County District Judge Jason Scott to a unified 40-year prison sentence, with 30 years fixed and 10 years indeterminate, after pleading guilty to four counts of Possession of Sexually Exploitative Material. Additionally, the judge ordered Patania to have no contact with the victims for 40-years and to register as a sex offender.
The case began in December 2024 when detectives investigated Patania for making sexual comments and touching a child in a sexual manner. Patania was arrested, and a search warrant granted the Ada County Sheriff’s Office permission to search his phone.
Deputies discovered numerous images of child pornography, primarily depicting young boys between the ages of five and 10. Deputies also found numerous chats and text messages where the defendant would discuss his interest in child pornography, often joking about it.
“Crimes involving sexual abuse of children are incredibly serious,” said Judge Scott. “The effects are long-lasting.” He noted the significant danger Patania poses to the community.
The Ada County Prosecutor’s Office requested a 40-year fixed prison sentence.
