No Statute Of Limitations For Any Criminal Prosecution In South Carolina

  • Sexual conduct with a minor is considered a first-degree felony if offender engages in sexual battery with a victim who is under 11 or who is under 16, and offender has previously been convicted of or pled guilty to a sexual offense. It is considered a second-degree felony if offender engages in sexual battery with a victim who is at least 11 but under 14 or who is at least 14 but under 16, and offender is in a position of familial, custodial, or official authority to coerce victim to submit. However, a person may not be convicted of a second-degree felony if he is 18 or younger when he engages in consensual sexual conduct with another person who is at least 14. S.C. Code Ann. § 16-3-655 (2008). Incest is also a crime under S.C. Code Ann. § 16-15-20.
