Newberry County Man Arrested on Multiple Charges of Sexual Exploitation of Minors
A 26-year-old man from Newberry County, Tyreek Latravious Brown, has been arrested on serious charges relating to child sexual exploitation. Brown is facing two counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, as authorities investigate allegations that he attempted to “facilitate, coerce, or encourage” a minor to engage in sexual activities for the purpose of creating child sexual abuse material using a cellphone. Investigators uncovered child sexual abuse material from Brown’s devices while executing a search warrant.
Brown’s current arrest is not his first encounter with the law. He was previously apprehended on July 1 and faced multiple charges, including contributing to the delinquency of a minor, two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 16, luring and enticing a minor under 16 to harm, and trafficking a child. Following his most recent arrest, he remains in custody at the Newberry County Detention Center and has been denied bond.
In a related development, on September 10, 2025, authorities arrested 43-year-old Dallas Randolph Williams from Prosperity on six charges concerning the sexual exploitation of minors. Williams is facing one count of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to 20 years. He also faces two counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, each carrying a potential penalty of up to 10 years, along with three counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, also each punishable by up to 10 years. Williams’ arrest followed a report to the CyberTipline from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Additionally, on September 26, authorities arrested Timothy Kent Hart, a 41-year-old man, who has been charged with five counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. This arrest stems from evidence of child sexual abuse material allegedly found in his possession. Hart is currently being held at the Newberry County Detention Center, with a bond set at $50,000.
Context of the Arrests
The recent spate of arrests underscores a growing focus on the issue of child sexual exploitation in Newberry County and the larger South Carolina region.

Safety initiatives and awareness campaigns are increasingly vital in combatting these heinous crimes, as local and federal law enforcement agencies seek to protect minors from exploitation and harm.
Impact of Child Exploitation Laws
Child exploitation laws, like those being enforced in South Carolina, are designed to rigorously penalize offenders to deter future crimes. With strict penalties for those found guilty, these laws aim to create a safer environment for children. The collaboration between law enforcement and organizations like NCMEC highlights the importance of reporting suspicious activity and ensures that protective measures are put into place.
