According to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office statement, a Kernersville man was arrested this week and charged with nine counts of sexual exploitation of a minor in the second degree.
Ryen Anthony Haskins, 26, was given a $50,000 secure bond ahead of an initial district court appearance.
Major Lane Koontz credited the work of the Invictus Task Force — a joint effort of multiple county, state, and federal agencies — in response to a cybertip submitted last month to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“The success of this investigation is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of the Invictus Task Force,” he said. “We remain committed to protecting our community and ensuring those exploiting our most vulnerable are held accountable. This case highlights the importance of partnerships in law enforcement, and we are proud to be part of a task force that delivers real results in the pursuit of justice.”
WGHP identified Haskins as a swimming instructor and published a statement reportedly written by the mother of one of his students. Click here to read the full report.
