An Abbeville man has been arrested on charges related to the sexual exploitation of minors, according to a statement from South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson. Timothy Cory Griffin, 37, was taken into custody by Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Abbeville Police Department.
Authorities allege that Griffin solicited and traveled to meet someone he believed was a minor for sex. The arrest took place on September 19, 2025.
Griffin faces one count of criminal solicitation of a minor, which is classified as a felony and carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison under South Carolina law (§16-15-342). He is also charged with one count of attempted criminal sexual conduct with a minor (§16-3-655(B)(1)).
The Attorney General’s Office will prosecute the case.
Attorney General Wilson stated: “All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in a court of law.”
