Northern Chaleston man accused of sexual crimes against children

North Charleston, SC (WCSC) – The Sheriff’s Office of Charleston County has accused a man of children’s sexual exploitation.

Frank Locklear, 36, of North Charleston, is accused of four positions of sexual exploitation of a minor in third degree and two positions of sexual exploitation of a minor in second degree.

The spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s office, Lexi Douglas, says that Locklear was arrested on Friday after the execution of a raid order at her home in Dorchester Road.

The affidavits reveal that this search created several files of child sexual abuse on a computer in the Locklear room.

In these files, which the researchers determined that Locklear had uploaded to file exchange networks, there were videos of children between the ages of 4 and 11 in different explicit states.

The researchers say they found Locklear when they track their distribution of these files to others and link it to their IP address.

Locklear was hired at the Cannon de Al Detention Center, where he was detained with a bail of $ 50,000.
