Sara Jean Sellers, a 44-year-old married mother of two from Brunswick County, North Carolina, has been arrested on 80 counts of child sex offenses, including statutory rape and statutory sex offenses with children under 15. The charges are based on incidents occurring from 2018 to 2021 with multiple victims, including two boys who were 12 at the time. She is currently held on a $2 million bond as the investigation continues. In a separate case, Skyler Bell and Claude Craven from Raleigh face additional charges related to child sex crimes, including human trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors.
