DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) -- A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a carjacking and sexual assault last month in Darlington County, Sheriff Michael August's office said Friday.

Willie Taylor was charged Friday with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, carjacking, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. August said Taylor will be charged as an adult and could face more charges.

Deputies responded to Phillips Street in the Darlington area on Aug. 15 for a sexual assault, the sheriff’s office said. When they arrived, they learned the victim was in their car when Taylor came up and held her at gunpoint.

Taylor allegedly assaulted the victim and stole her car, according to the sheriff’s office. The vehicle was later found abandoned.
