Suspect Arrested for Communications with a Minor for Immoral Purposes

Spokane Valley Deputies responded to a trouble unknown call and, through the investigation, developed probable cause to charge the adult male suspect with communication with a minor (13-year-old female) for immoral purposes.  The suspect was transported and booked into jail.  

On September 9, 2024, at approximately 5:45 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the 15700 block of E. Broadway for a trouble unknown call.  

Deputies arrived and began an investigation into allegations that 52-year-old Jesse N. Fett was behaving inappropriately with a 13-year-old victim.

During the investigation, Deputies seized evidence of the inappropriate behavior and gained statements that supported that it was occurring, including multiple sexually explicated messages.  

With probable cause established, Deputies arrested Fett.

Fett was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Communications with a Minor for Immoral Purposes, a felony.  

At Fett’s first appearance in court on September 10, 2024, Spokane Superior Court Commissioner E. Cruz set his total case bond at $75,000.  Fett remains in custody at the time this release was sent. 

This remains an active investigation and additional charges are possible.
