A horrific scandal has rocked Harnett County in North Carolina.
Two men from the county have been arrested after a bevy of heinous charges were levied against them, according to a May 7 report fromWRAL-TV, after the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office received multiple tips through its database.
Joshua Lee Gilliam, 39, has been charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, as well as first-degree statutory sexual offense and indecent liberties.
Ronald Wayne Lynch, also 39, meanwhile has been charged with two counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
Lynch was able to secure bond of $360,000.
Both men made their first appearances in Harnett County District Court on Thursday.
WNCN-TVreported that authorities seized several electronic devices after searching the two men’s shared domicile.
Both were eventually charged after an inspection of those devices.
Children’s rights activist Katy Faust took to social media to share her disgust with the abhorrent ordeal — while adding a few more gut-wrenching details herself.
