According to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Mikah Brondyke was arrested and charged with sex crimes against children. His wife, an assistant principal, is also facing drug charges.
A former Wake County Public Schools teacher and youth pastor is facing charges after he was accused of sex crimes against children, according to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.
Court documents showed that Mikah Brondyke sent explicit videos to a Holly Springs police officer acting undercover as a 14-year-old girl.
Brondyke, 36, was arrested on Tuesday and faces several charges, including:
- Soliciting a child by computer
- Indecent liberties with a child
- Disseminating obscenity
- First-degree sexual exploitation of a minor
- Felony possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance
- Maintain a dwelling for a controlled substance
Brondyke’s wife, Chloe Bronydke, an assistant principal at Rolesville High School, was also charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance, the NCSBI said.
In a letter sent to families, Rolesville High School Principal Phelan Perry said the incidents related to the charges did not happen at the school and did not involve any Rolesville High School students.
Mikah Brondyke, who was a career and technical education teacher and assistant soccer coach at Rolesville High School until May 1, 2024, is being held in the Franklin County Detention Center under a $620,000 secured bond. He’s due in court in April.
North Carolina Wesleyan University confirmed Brondyke worked at the school from June 2017 to August 2020 in a ministry and outreach role.
“The charges described involve alleged conduct that occurred well after his employment at the University and in contexts unrelated to North Carolina Wesleyan University,” a school spokesperson said in a statement to WRAL.
Chloe Bronydke turned herself in and posted a $20,000 bond, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. She has been suspended with pay while the district investigates, Rolesville High School’s principal said.
The Holly Springs Police Department is among several agencies that are part of a broader task force that investigates cybercrimes against children.
“Tips can come from the State Bureau of Investigation or they may even come from the federal bureau of investigation,” Chief Paul Liquorie said. “Then trying to also see if they will be solicited by this person they are receiving a tip of.”
He had a warning for parents to remain vigilant in protecting their children from potential predators in the digital space.
“It can be really anybody that gets involved in this, and more importantly, it can be any kind of child that’s being targeted,” Liquorie said. Parents have to be active with that and put guardrails around their social media use and internet use.”
