The sheriff’s office said Kriner was charged with two counts of statutory rape, child molestation and aggravated child molestation.
Sheriff Pierce also said that, due to how Special Victims Unit posts “gain quite a bit of traction,” he wanted to make it clear that “if you decide to victimize a child in our county, you will be social media famous.”
Additional information about the cases was not available.
