Rep. Nancy Mace accuses S.C. Atty Gen. of turning blind eye to victims of sexual predators
Columbia, SC (WOLO) — South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace hit the U.S. House floor Monday speaking for nearly an hour exposing those who prey on women and children including rapists, peeping toms, and sex traffickers calling it a night for justice, and truth, “the painful, cold, hard truth”. Even claiming one of those men was her ex fiance’.
According to Mace, while they were together in 2023 she found video, and images on his cell phone and a small hidden camera of women and underage girls in compromising positions. At least one woman she alleges was being raped while incapacitated, many of them according to Mace unaware they were being recorded or photographed. Including herself, just one of hundreds of victims.
Mace says she personally discovered 10,633 images which she says she turned over to authorities before claiming she was told she would be investigated, and could even be arrested calling it “an intimidation tactic” to scare victims from coming forward and further treating victims like criminals.
Mace specifically calling out South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson saying he was aware of a deliberate delay to her claims, even saying it took the state 228 days to get her a victim’s rights advocate after coming forward with evidence. Mace saying Alan Wilson is “kicking the can down the road” and turning a blind eye for the last 15 years.

The Office of Attorney General Alan Wilson released a statement concerning Mace’s comments made on the U.S. House floor Monday saying,
“Recent statements made by Congresswoman Nancy Mace regarding the conduct of the South Carolina Attorney General are categorically false. Ms. Mace either does not understand or is purposefully mischaracterizing the role of the Attorney General. At this time, our office has not received any reports or requests for assistance from any law enforcement or prosecution agencies regarding these matters. Additionally, the Attorney General and members of his office have had no role and no knowledge of these allegations until her public statements.”
Wilson’s office going on to say,
“Congresswoman Mace and the Attorney General have been at multiple events together over the last six months. She also has the Attorney General’s personal cellphone number. Not once has she approached or reached out to him regarding any of her concerns.
Regarding her claim that the Attorney General refused to receive evidence of a crime from a victim’s attorney, it is important to clarify that the Attorney General is the chief prosecutor. For this reason, the Attorney General would always direct any citizen to provide evidence of a crime to the appropriate law enforcement agency, which would be responsible for the investigation.
Since stepping into office, the Attorney General has made it a priority to strengthen the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, establish the Human Trafficking Task Force, which is now considered a model nationwide, led efforts to reform the state’s domestic violence laws, and created the Crime Victim Services Division, which makes it easier for victims to receive help. Before serving as Attorney General, Alan Wilson served as an Assistant Solicitor and Assistant Attorney General, successfully prosecuting many heinous crimes against women and children.”
It is clear that Attorney General Alan Wilson has built his career on protecting the most vulnerable in our state; any statement otherwise is blatantly false and politically motivated.
