Sextortionists sent South Carolina lawmaker sick message after son’s suicide
Sextortionists sent a grieving South Carolina lawmaker a sick message gloating about driving his teenage son to suicide — while threatening to release nude photos and demanding more money.that he got the Instagram message on the day his son Gavin would have turned 18 — and less than a month after he found him dead last year at their family home in Rock Hill.
It threatens scammers who extort a minor or an at-risk adult with up to 5 years in prison for a first offense. The lawmaker only realized 17-year-old son Gavin was being blackmailed after sextortionists started messaging him, too.“My initial thought was, this is my fault – I left the gun out,” he said, saying he will never forget the pain of realizing his son died by suicide.
They then realized that Gavin thought he was sharing nude photos with a young woman who first sent him pics — only to be told they’d be released to everyone he knew unless he paid blackmail demands.

Supreme Court to review South Carolina congressional map for discrimination against Black votersThe Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether South Carolina's congressional districts need to be redrawn because they discriminate against Black voters. The justices said Monday they would review a lower-court ruling that found a coastal district running from Charleston to Hilton Head was intentionally redrawn to reduce the number of Democratic-leaning Black voters and to make it more likely Republican candidates would win. The case probably will be argued in the fall, and decided in the run up to the 2024 elections, when all the seats in the closely divided House of Representatives, now under Republican control, will be on the ballot.
