KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho — A man who knew a Coeur d’Alene truck driver accused of abusing underage boys spoke out on Tuesday. He said the suspect abused one of his relatives.
Court documents stated Kevin Sloniker, 30, is accused of sexually abusing ten different boys between 2005 and 2015.
Since this man’s relative reported an incident of unwanted touching involving Sloniker, KREM 2 agreed to not reveal his identity so we will be referring to him as Ralph. He said he thought that Sloniker was socially awkward, but he was extremely surprised when these allegations against him surfaced.
Ralph said he first met Sloniker while attending camp where Sloniker was a counselor. One of Ralph’s relatives was friends with Sloniker and told detectives about an incident of unwanted touching when he was a teenager. Ralph said he was not aware of that until court documents in this case were released.
