With the assistance of Troop K Computer Crimes Unit and the Dutchess County Child Advocacy Center, Ginyard was arrested on August 17, 2021 and charged with two counts of Disseminating Indecent Materials to a Minor for sending sexually explicit text messages to two of the juveniles.  Ginyard was arraigned in the town of Washington Court and released on his own recognizance.
