A Loris man has been arrested and is accused of sexual conduct with a child.
According to an incident report from the Horry County Police Department, a worker with the South Carolina Department of Social Services reported a case of possible sexual abuse of a minor on October 3. The complainant said she was working a case in which minor children were taken from a home.
The reported victim is “a minor child that was brought to the Children’s Recovery Center for a forensic interview,” the report says. During the interview, the 7-year-old female victim said the suspect had performed sexual acts on her. These acts were “reportedly done on more than one occasion,” possibly “between the first of this year and until September.” The suspect is identified in the report as 28-year-old Lander Soles of Mt. Zion Road in the Loris area.
According to J. Reuben Long Detention Center booking records, Soles was booked around 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday and remains incarcerated as of 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday. He is charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 11 in the first degree. No bail has been set.
