My time as United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina has come to a close. To those who helped me get there, to those who supported me and made me be a better U.S. Attorney, to those who trusted me with this important work, I will be forever grateful.

A stunning federal report released today detailed horrific conditions at Richland County’s jail. apnews.com/article/south-car…
Take steps to protect your children online:
1. Know what platforms your kids are on and what limits you can place on them.
2. Let your kids know that people online may not be who they say they are.
3. Teach children not to use real names or identifying information online.
The details in this case are upsetting. Our office indicted an Ohio man for exploiting, stalking minors online, including a child in South Carolina.

We were honored to join the Horry County community to discuss federal hate crime laws & reporting. This important topic is on many people's minds & we want to make sure citizens know they can report hate crimes & incidents to @FBIColumbia as well as local law enforcement.
