A 20-year-old Mount Juliet man is in the Wilson County Jail on a sexual exploitation charge, and investigators say they are worried others may have been targeted and have not yet come forward.
Khumoyunkhon "Hon" Ikromjonov is being held on an $85,000 bond, according to county records. Detectives say Snapchat and in-person encounters are among the ways he may have contacted people and are urging anyone with information to reach out to law enforcement.
How to report tips
The Wilson County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with relevant information to submit an anonymous tip through its Crime Stoppers form or call 615-444-1412, option 0. Officials say the online form allows people to upload photos, videos, and other attachments that could help investigators.
Arrest and what investigators say
As reported by WZTV, Ikromjonov was arrested earlier this week and booked into the Wilson County Jail on a sexual exploitation charge. Investigators told reporters they believe there may be additional victims or witnesses who have not yet come forward, and that Snapchat and face-to-face contacts were specifically flagged during the ongoing probe.
Online platforms and wider context
Law enforcement in Tennessee has increasingly traced alleged exploitation cases to social apps such as Snapchat. In a recent case highlighted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, agents said child sexual abuse material had been uploaded to Snapchat and used that investigation to underscore the importance of reporting suspicious activity.
The TBI and child-protection groups encourage the public to use the TBI tipline and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s CyberTipline for suspected online exploitation.
Legal note
These are allegations; an arrest is not a conviction and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. Prosecutors and investigators will review the evidence and determine any additional or modified charges as the inquiry continues.
Investigators' request to the public
Investigators say anyone who may have been contacted by Ikromjonov, including people who have screenshots, private messages, or videos, should contact the Wilson County Sheriff's Office directly or submit an anonymous Crime Stoppers tip through its online portal.
For suspected online exploitation, officials say the TBI tipline at 1-800-TBI-FIND and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s CyberTipline remain key reporting channels.
