Man charged with sexual exploitation of minors in Randolph County

RANDOLPH COUNTY, NC (WGHP) – A man has been arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.

On July 11, members of the Invictus Task Force executed a search warrant in Randolph County after receiving a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

As a result of the investigation, 22-year-old Jonathan Jimenez Serrato was charged with two counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Serrato was arrested Thursday and taken to the Randolph County Detention Center, where the magistrate issued a $10,000 bond.

The investigation is ongoing.
