Governor McMaster suspends small town mayor-elect facing child sexual exploitation charges
DILLON, SC (WPDE) – The soon-to-be mayor of a small town in the Pee Dee is suspended before he even takes office.
Corey Jackson faces 11 counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
Evidence presented at a bond hearing showed Jackson was soliciting nude pictures from boys as young as 15 on Snapchat. The prosecution said Jackson was offering money – up to $1,000 – for photos of the boys’ penises.
Governor Henry McMaster suspended Corey Jackson Wednesday (5/30).
According to WPDE, Jackson hosted a private swearing-in ceremony Thursday afternoon with Dillon Clerk of Council Tina Scott administering the Oath of Office. The ceremony was held at 2:35 at the Dillon City Complex.
