Former Nampa teacher arrested in Las Vegas for allegedly exchanging explicit texts with 13-year-old student
NAMPA, Idaho — A former Nampa middle school teacher and current Las Vegas math teacher has been apprehended for allegedly sending explicit texts to a 13-year-old, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD).
On Feb. 3, detectives with the LVMPD’s Sexual Assault Detail arrested 48-year-old Brian Conway on the charge of use/permit minor less than 14 to produce porn, luring a child with a computer for sexual acts, and possession of visual porn of a person under the age of 16.
Brian Conway was formerly a teacher at South Middle School in the Nampa School District. The Nampa School District confirmed that Conway no longer works for Nampa Schools after he “voluntarily separated from employment with the district last school year for reasons unrelated to the allegations currently reported.”
Detectives say there could be additional victims due to Conway’s close ties with youth.
Idaho News 6 has obtained the arrest report for Conway, which provides details about his relationship with the 13-year-old student.
That report indicates the father of the 13-year-old student reached out to LVMPD after discovering “sexually explicit” text messages on his daughter’s phone involving Conway. The report claims Conway used Instagram, Signal, and text messages to communicate with the teen.
The father said his wife noticed the daughter texting late into the evening, which prompted her to search the daughter’s phone and subsequently find the explicit conversations with Conway.
When confronted about the relationship, the daughter admitted that the relationship with the middle school teacher evolved over the course of multiple months, the arrest report claims.
The father says he believed Conway was offering his daughter tutoring since she was sometimes staying after school.
Detectives later located Conway at his apartment and, through a search warrant, searched his digital devices, clothing, and photographs. During the search, officers seized two iPhones and three laptops.
When asked about his relationship with the daughter, police say Conway requested an attorney.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of Brian Conway, please contact the LVMPD Sexual Assault Detail at 702-828-3421.

BOISE, Idaho (Idaho Capital Sun) — Day use access fees at all Idaho state parks will be waived for Idaho residents on July 4 as part of a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Gov. Brad Little announced Friday, as reported by the Idaho Capital Sun.
“As we prepare to mark 250 years of American independence, there is no better way to celebrate than by getting outside with our loved ones and enjoying the freedoms and natural treasures that define our great nation,” Little said Friday. “Idaho’s state parks showcase the very best of our state, and we are proud to welcome families, friends and visitors to explore them free of charge during this special occasion.”
While day use fees for Idaho residents will be waived, normal camping and reservation fees will apply, officials said.
Idaho has 28 state parks, which offer a variety of recreational and outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, skiing, bird watching, rock climbing, fishing, boating, swimming, bicycling and more.
State officials with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation are in the process of unveiling improvements and enhancements at several state parks, including Lucky Peak State Park outside of Boise, which recently opened a new dog beach and accessible kayak launch on the Boise River.
Other state parks include Bruneau Dunes State Park and Observatory, Harriman State Park, Bear Lake State Park and City of Rocks National Reserve, which is a national reserve and state park that attracts climbers from all over the world to its dramatic granite rock spires.
Little said the July 4 fee waiver is a part of a larger effort to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence being signed in 1776.

We’re lucky to live in a place as safe as the Treasure Valley. Despite our growth, one of the things that makes our area so special is the way that we look out for one another–for our neighbors! That’s a principle that seems to have held on as Boise has boomed.
Despite low crime rates, there seems to always be one incident or so that makes us scratch our heads.
A recent string of fraud incidents in the Treasure Valley area is one of those.
Nampa Police initially warned the public of this because cases of fraud began to ‘mushroom’. Then, it took an interesting turn–people that HAD their credit cards were being ‘taken to the bank’, so to speak.
In a statement originally released on April 30th by the Nampa Police Department, officials advised the following:
We are not sure how the suspects are gaining access to the victim’s credit cards. There is a growing fraud scheme, “ghost tapping”, that scammers are using to access victims’ credit cards. This is possibly occurring in these instances. “Ghost tapping” uses stolen credit card details in Apple Pay or Google Pay, then remotely relays the tap signal over the internet to a ‘mule’ at a store, allowing them to make high-value purchases that appear completely legitimate. (We’ll share more information on ghost tapping in a later public service announcement that will also suggest ways to protect yourself.) The app used by these criminals obscures the actual credit card number, making it harder for investigators to link a victim to a particular crime. Keep in mind that victims still have their physical credit cards while suspects use the stolen card information to make purchases, which also affects how victims are alerted. So far, local investigators have not been able to identify a common theme among the victims (e.g., a specific bank, a website they visited, a gas pump they used, etc.) in the fraud cases we are investigating.
The investigation spans far and wide.
Authorities say that some suspects are in custody, others are being contacted, and others are still at large.
Now, a week later, the police are back to reaching out to the public–this time, urging people to check their bank accounts.
Nampa Police say that they have caught onto a pattern– there are fraudulent charges at Albertson’s to purchase gift cards, at Costco to purchase Apple products, and at Best Buy, also for Apple products.
Check those bank statements!
