GREENVILLE, S.C. — Six suspects, including a former municipal fire training officer and two former police officers, have been denied bond following their arrests in connection with an alleged child sex ring, according to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation was initiated in January after two victims came forward to report criminal sexual conduct. Authorities subsequently identified a third victim connected to the case. On Tuesday, May 19, the sheriff’s office Specialized Investigations Division executed search warrants at the residences of the six suspects, who are described by officials as friends or acquaintances.
According to law enforcement documentation, the alleged offenses occurred between 1998 and 2003. All six individuals appeared in bond court on Wednesday morning, where bond was denied for each defendant.
