Honk News (Kernersville, NC) – A man from Kernersville faces several charges related to sexual exploitation, as stated in the warrants.
A 26-year-old from Kernersville, Ryen Anthony Haskins, faces nine charges related to the sexual exploitation of a minor, as announced on Tuesday.
The warrants indicate that Haskins “illegally captured images and recordings” of young girls aged 8 to 14 engaged in sexual acts.
Haskins is set to appear in court once more on February 20.
Haskins serves as an instructor with an organization dedicated to offering essential swimming lessons for infants and young children, as stated on its website.
The inquiry continues, and individuals with relevant details are encouraged to reach out to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
The organization known for teaching infant swimming, where Haskin served as an instructor, released this statement:
“We have recently become aware of the criminal charges and allegations against Ryen Haskins. Though all current information available to us indicates no connection between these allegations and any ISR lessons, we will fully cooperate with authorities for their criminal investigation and we have opened a related internal investigation. We have taken immediate preliminary action, including the suspension of the license Mr. Haskins holds with Infant Swimming Resource, pending all investigations.”
