Mebane man charged with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of minor
ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A Mebane man has been arrested and charged with sexual exploitation following an investigation by the Invictus Task Force, according to a press release from the Alamance County Sheriff's Office.
In November 2024, members of the ITF began an investigation related to a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in which Raymond Vincent Wargo, Jr., 58, of Mebane, was identified as a suspect.
Wargo, Jr. was arrested on Friday and charged with ten counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
He was taken to the Alamance County Detention Center and issued a $300,000 secured bond.
He will appear in court on Monday.
The Invictus Task Force is 'a joint effort of Randolph, Alamance, Davidson, and Forsyth Counties, the State Bureau of Investigation, and Homeland Security in the fight against internet crimes against children (ICAC), sexual abuse, trafficking and the exploitation of children using a collaboration of resources as a force multiplier.'

STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY AND FAMILY SPOKESPERSON MICHELLE D. BERNARD Following Open-Casket Memorial for Dr. Marvin Boomer, Jr.
OAKLAND, Calif., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Good afternoon, beloved community. We gather here today not merely in mourning, but in righteous indignation. We gather in remembrance—but also in resistance. Because a son of Oakland, a son of this nation, a brilliant Black man named Dr. Marvin Boomer, Jr., has been stolen from us. Now I stand here today not only as an attorney, but as a sister in the struggle. I speak not only as a legal representative, but as a mother, a daughter, a woman who has seen too many families crushed under the weight of injustice. I speak with a heavy heart and a righteous fire, because Marvin Boomer, Jr. should be alive today. He was not caught in a storm of his own making. He was not a suspect. He was not a statistic. He was a scholar, a teacher, a lover of justice, a defender of Black dignity. He was walking with his partner, Nina, when he saw death coming and put her safety before his own. He died a hero. And we will not allow that heroism to be silenced by bureaucratic excuses or policy failures cloaked in blue. So we say his name today: Dr. Marvin Boomer, Jr. And we will keep saying it until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream. Let me be clear: had this happened in Mill Valley, or Tiburon, or Stanford, or Woodside—if this had happened on streets paved with privilege and protection—Marvin Boomer would be alive. But in East Oakland, where Black and Brown lives are too often deemed expendable, the rules were different. The pursuit policies were different. And the consequences, as always, were deadly. This family is not only grieving—they are standing tall. They are saying enough is enough. And I am honored—deeply honored—to represent them in their pursuit of truth, accountability, and justice. So now, I invite you to meet the voices behind the pain and the purpose: His mother, a queen among women, Ms. Tina Boomer. His father, steadfast and courageous, Mr. Marvin Boomer, Sr. His sisters, each a beacon of strength and grace: Tynesha Boomer, Deborah Martin, and Brittany Boomer. And the woman who loved him, and whose life he saved with his last breath, Ms. Nina Woodruff. Hear them. See them. Stand with them. And say his name with us—not just today, but until justice is served. #JusticeForDrMarvinBoomerJr#SayHisName#BlackLivesMatter#NoMoreRecklessPursuits May God bless this family. May God bless this movement. And may Dr. Marvin Boomer, Jr.'s legacy light the path forward—for all of us. Contact:Michelle D.

West Haven man charged for sending and receiving CSAM through social media, documents say
Report child sexual abuse material to law enforcement by contacting the ICAC Tip Line at (801) 281-1211 or your local law enforcement agency. WEST HAVEN, Utah () — A West Haven man is facing felony charges for sending and receiving child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on a social media platform. It took investigators almost a year to track him down and charge him. Andres Rafael Diaz, 36, has been charged with 11 felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor, with one of those charges having the 'aggravated' enhancement, making it a first-degree felony instead of second-degree. He is also charged with 10 misdemeanor charges of unlawful distribution of an intimate image. Sex offender arrested for attempting to meet child in Lehi, documents say On June 28, 2024, a social media company sent a CyberTipline about an account that was uploading and distributing CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They forwarded the tip to the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force after identifying an IP address in Utah, documents say. Since last year, several search warrants and court orders have finally led investigators to connect the account to Diaz. According to the charges, during the investigation, they received more tip lines on the same suspect, which were also confirmed to be Diaz. On June 4, 2025, ICAC executed a search warrant at Diaz's residence and made contact with him. Documents say that he admitted to owning the accounts and sending and receiving CSAM on the social media platform. He told investigators he was 'unsure how many files of CSAM he sent to other users, but that it was a lot.' Out-of-state professor accused of 20 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor in Box Elder County Through social media, Diaz allegedly had graphic sexual conversations about underage children — including some that he knew in person — with other users. In these conversations, he also sometimes shared photos of an intimate partner, who told police they did not consent to those photos being sent to people other than Diaz. Diaz was booked into the Weber County Jail and is currently being held without bail. His initial appearance is set for Monday, June 6. Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
