Law enforcement officials stated that he used a file-sharing network on his home computer. Using that network, he allegedly received, sold or purchased materials depicting minors in sexual activities. Sheriff’s deputy charged Earlier this year, a Spartanburg County deputy was fired from his job after admitting he viewed child pornography. The man’s estranged wife gave authorities a computer disk with 40 pornographic images of children taken from his computer. The deputy had worked for the sheriff’s office for seven years. The sheriff turned the materials over to state agents for possible criminal charges. Sass Drive man faces felony charge A 61-year-old Sass Drive man is also charged with second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Authorities seized a computer disk containing images of children engaged in sexual activity from his residence. Investigators said he was also suspected of uploading pornography to the Internet. South Carolina man arrested in Arkansas A South Carolina man was arrested in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for allegedly viewing images of a nude 15-year-old girl on his cell phone. The 22-year-old Greenville resident faces felony charges of distributing, possessing and viewing child pornography. The girl’s mother contacted police after she said her daughter received sexually explicit messages on her phone. After investigators inspected the suspect’s MySpace account, they subpoenaed his Internet service provider and determined his identity. According to the arrest warrant, he had sent the minor girl photos of his genitals via text messaging. She then sent the photos of herself to him. South Carolina law Second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor occurs when an adult “records, photographs, films, develops, duplicates, produces, or creates digital electronic file material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaged in sexual activity; or distributes, transports, exhibits, receives, sells, purchases, exchanges or solicits material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaged in sexual activity.” A conviction of this felony charge carries a sentence of not less than two years and not more than 10 years in prison.
