Goose Creek man arrested on CSAM charges | Community News

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Gregory Keith Day, 44, of Goose Creek, on 13 charges related to the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Investigators from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force made the arrest. Investigators from the Attorney General’s Office, Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, Goose Creek Police Department, Mount Pleasant Police Department, Summerville Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations, all also members of the state ICAC Task Force, assisted in the research.

Investigators received a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that led them to Day. Investigators said Day distributed files containing child sexual abuse material.

Day was arrested Wednesday, October 9, and charged with thirteen counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, a felony punishable by up to ten years in prison per charge.

Wilson’s office will prosecute this case.

Wilson emphasized that all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

(Editor’s note: Child Sexual Abuse Material, or CSAM, more accurately reflects the material involved in these crimes. “Pornography” may imply that the child was a consenting participant. Worldwide, the term child pornography is being replaced by CSAM for this reason.)
