GREENVILLE, S.C. —An Upstate man who is the host of a conservative radio show on a Christian talk channel has been charged with a sex crime against a 3-year-old boy, according to arrest warrants.

Josh Kimbrell, who is the host of Common Cents on Christian Talk 660AM/92.9FM, is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 11.

According to the arrest warrant, Kimbrell, under the guise of a game, fondled the child and committed other sexually acts against the boy.
