CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A judge has sentenced a man to prison for sex crimes involving a minor.

Christopher Robert White was sentenced on Thursday by the Honorable Jennifer McCoy to the maximum penalty of 15 years for third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, according to Solicitor Scarlett Wilson.

The jury unanimously found the defendant guilty after a three-day trial. White’s sentence will be split into 10 years in prison and five years on probation.

Solicitor Wilson stated, “Judge McCoy recognized that this horrific crime robs a child of their innocence and sentenced him accordingly.”

This case was prosecuted by Assistant Solicitors Lauren Mulkey Fierson and Tyra Roberts, and was assisted by Investigator Jennifer Hall.
