The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said a Chapel Hill resident faces four counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor following a months-long investigation.
A release Thursday morning said investigators charged 26-year-old Trefor Vaughn Studenberg in connection to a tip received by the Internet Crimes Against Children task force in Oct. 2024. Studenberg turned himself in to the magistrate’s office on Wednesday.
Third-degree exploitation, according to the sheriff’s office, involves having material “containing a visual representation of a minor engaged in sexual activity.”
Citing the terms of the Pre-Trial Integrity Act, the magistrate placed Studenberg in the custody of the detention center under no bond. His first court appearance on the charges is set for 2 p.m. on Thursday.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Investigator K. Steward is leading the case, and anyone with additional information is asked to call him at 919-245-2925.
