Palm Harbor, FLORIDA

So far in 2008, this is the fourth case of an inappropriate relationship between a student and an adult at their school to be reported in the Bay area.

April 8, 2008 - Ryan Wilborn, 22, a volunteer assistant band coach for Palm Harbor University High School was arrested Monday on charges that he had sex with one band member on several occasions and inappropriately touched another band member. Both girls were 15 at the time. Police arrested Wilborn after one of the girls’ parents went to police.

Wilborn discussed the sex in a phone call that was being monitored by sheriff's investigators, the affidavit states.

Full Name: Ryan Christopher Wilborn

Police suspect there may be more victims. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Brad Carrozza of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office's Crimes Against Children Unit at (727) 582-6200

ARRESTED (Again) August 19 - Wilborn was arrested on a charge of Certain Use of Computer Services Prohibited after they say he tried to meet someone he thought was an underage teen. Detectives received a tip in July that Wilborn was communicating with minors on the Internet, the sheriff's office said. An undercover detective assumed the persona of a 16-year-old girl online and began chatting with Wilborn, who engaged in a sexually explicit conversation.

A meeting with the "teen" was arranged and Wilborn went to a location in north Pinellas County with the purpose of engaging in a sexual act, detectives said.
