South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Kevin Kenyatta Johnson, 28, of Gloverville, S.C., on two charges connected to the sexual exploitation of minors. Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office made the arrest. Investigators with the Attorney General's Office, and Homeland Security Investigations, both also members of the state's ICAC Task Force, assisted with the investigation.

Investigators received a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) which led them to Johnson. Investigators state Johnson possessed files of child sexual abuse material.

Johnson was arrested on August 1, 2024. He is charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, third degree (§16-15-410), a felony offense punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment on each count.

Johnson was previously convicted on related charges in 2024.

 This case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office.

 Attorney General Wilson stressed all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in a court of law.
