South Carolina Arrests Man in Child Exploitation Case

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announces the arrest of 50-year-old James David Bagwell from Ridgeville on June 9th, charging him with multiple felony counts including first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, third-degree criminal sexual conduct, and two counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor — each carrying up to 20 years in prison. The investigation, led by the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office ICAC Task Force with support from the FBI and Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, was triggered by CyberTipline reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, alleging Bagwell engaged in criminal sexual conduct and created child sexual abuse material. This case underscores the critical, ongoing efforts by law enforcement to safeguard minors online. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
