A Georgia man was arrested in Wake County on Friday night after coming to the home of a teenage girl he’d sexually exploited, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
Jaymahney Collins, 25, of Savannah is charged with six counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and one count each of cyberstalking, harassing phone calls and misdemeanor stalking, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
A deputy responded to the home in Wendell about 8:20 p.m. Friday after someone called 911 to report a trespasser, according to court documents.
“When the deputy first arrived, the suspect was already gone, but he came back to the area while the deputy was still there and was detained,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
It’s not clear how deputies learned of Collins’ connection to the teen, but court documents state the 25-year-old received inappropriate photos of her in March 2023, when she was 14 and he was 22.
Court records don’t specify how long the alleged exploitation went on , but on Feb. 24 of this year, Collins emailed and called the teen multiple times before coming to her house “uninvited three separate times with a firearm,” according to his arrest warrant. It’s not clear if those incidents were reported before Friday’s incident.
Collins also has a pending trespassing case in his home state, Georgia court records show. He was arrested June 18, 2025, after allegedly trespassing at the Amazon warehouse where he’d once worked in Port Wentworth, Georgia, a suburb of Savannah.
The warehouse manager told police that Collins allegedly came for a new hire orientation with a baseball cap “concealing his face” after previously being fired and trespassed from the building, according to an incident report.
Collins was released from jail that same day after paying an $1,850 bond, court records show. The case remained pending as of Monday afternoon.
Collins remained in the Wake County jail without bail. If he posts bail, he may not contact anyone under 18, including the victim, according to court documents.
