Forsyth County, NC – A Forsyth County man was taken into custody following a months-long investigation into child exploitation that spanned multiple North Carolina counties, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities say the arrest came after the Invictus Task Force, in coordination with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, identified a suspect through a cyber tip in August 2025.
According to investigators, Eduardo Diaz was taken into custody on November 20, 2025, after a search warrant was executed at a home in Rural Hall, NC. Diaz was charged with eight counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
The suspect is currently being held at the Forsyth County Detention Center on a $3,000,000 bond, with a first court appearance scheduled for November 21, 2025 in Forsyth County District Court.
The Invictus Task Force is a collaboration among Randolph, Alamance, Davidson, and Forsyth Counties, alongside state and federal partners including Homeland Security Investigations. The task force focuses on online crimes against children, sexual abuse, and trafficking.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office or Invictus Task Force representatives.
If you believe you or someone you know may be a victim of child exploitation or trafficking, call the National Hotline for 24/7 assistance at 1-888-373-7888 or text “HELP” to 233733.
