Sexual exploitation of a minor charges are facing a Loris area man investigators say possessed child pornography, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said Friday.
Aaron Paul Ferreira, 23, faces nine charges, including one count of sexual exploitation of a minor in the second degree, eight counts of sexual exploitation of a minor in the third degree, and could be sentenced to up to ten years in prison on each count, a news release from the attorney general’s office said.
Ferreira was arrested Wednesday after a search warrant was executed at his home north of Loris, sheriff’s spokeswoman Brooke Holden said. Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Horry County Sheriff’s Office made the arrest, the news release said.
