South Carolina Attorney Gen. Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Brock Bladen Garrett, 20, of Scranton on one charge connected to the dissemination of obscene material to a minor.
Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office made the arrest. Investigators with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a member of the Minnesota ICAC Task Force, and Red Lake Nation Police Department assisted with the investigation.
Investigators state Garrett sent a nude image to the minor victim via social media.
Garrett was arrested on Tuesday. He is charged with one count of disseminating obscene material to a person 12 years of age or younger, a felony offense punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment.
The case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office.
