August Byron Kreis III, 59, was arrested Wednesday after a joint investigation by the Richland County, Lexington County and Kershaw County Sheriff’s Departments.
The mother of the alleged victim told investigators that Kreis repeatedly had sexual contact with the girl and shared pornography with her between September and November of last year.
Kreis is charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child younger than 12 and with disseminating pornography to a child 12 or younger.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said the investigation remains open and more charges might follow.
Investigators ask anyone with information about illegal conduct by Kreis to contact Crimestoppers.
