MERIDIAN, Idaho — An attorney formerly employed by Blue Cross of Idaho was arraigned Thursday afternoon on 10 felony counts of possession of child exploitative material.

Steven Driggers, 52, was arrested by the Idaho Crimes Against Children Unit on Wednesday, May 20, with assistance from several other departments, including Meridian and Boise Police.

A district judge set Driggers' bond at $1 million on Thursday, which was posted the same day. He is scheduled to appear for an out-of-custody preliminary hearing on Friday, May 29.

"Our ICAC investigators and our partners across the Treasure Valley acted quickly to remove this suspect from our community," said Attorney General Raúl Labrador in a press release. "Ten counts of possessing child sexual exploitation material represents real harm to real children. We will keep making these arrests."

In a statement to Idaho News 6, Blue Cross of Idaho confirmed that Driggers is no longer affiliated with the company.
