Former Rolesville teacher, youth pastor Mikah Brondyke charged with child sex crimes

A former Wake County Public Schools teacher and youth pastor identified in local reports as Mikah Brondyke, 36, is in custody at the Franklin County Detention Center under a $620,000 secured bond after the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation announced he faces multiple charges alleging sex crimes against children. He was arrested Tuesday and is expected in court Wednesday, according to the reporting that cited NCSBI statements.

Rolesville High School records and a letter to families from Principal Phelan Perry say Brondyke had served as a career and technical education teacher and as an assistant soccer coach at Rolesville High School, with his last day listed as May 1, 2024. In that letter, Principal Perry wrote that “the incidents related to the charges did not happen at the school and did not involve any Rolesville High School students,” language included in local coverage of the case.

Local coverage also reports that Brondyke’s wife, identified in those reports as Chloe Bronydke, is an assistant principal at Rolesville High School and was charged in the same announcement with felony possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance and maintaining a dwelling controlled substance, the NCSBI said. The available reports do not provide additional details on her arrest date, custody status, or whether she remains assigned to Rolesville High School.

The NCSBI posted about the case on its official Instagram account on March 3, 2026, writing in part, "A former Wake County teacher and youth pastor is charged with numerous sex crimes against" — the post excerpt available in reporting is truncated and does not list specific counts or statutes. Local outlets that first reported the arrest note that formal charging documents and full lists of counts were not included in the public posts cited.

This Wake County matter is distinct from a separate Burke County case involving Aaron Doyle Mirtsching. Mirtsching, 41, of Morganton, was charged Aug. 22, 2023, after a cyber-tip to Internet Crimes Against Children and later pleaded guilty to multiple statutory sex-offense counts; Burke County authorities reported a sentence of 380 to 552 months in prison. That case involved Mirtsching’s prior roles at New Dimensions Charter School in Morganton and as a youth pastor at Thrive Church and is unrelated to the Rolesville High School personnel named in the Wake County reporting.

Officials in Wake County, including the Wake County Public Schools communications office and the appropriate prosecutor’s office, have not released full charging instruments in the reports reviewed; the NCSBI statement and Rolesville High School principal’s letter are the primary public details available at this time. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, when docket entries or charging documents may provide further specifics.
