Greenville
Multiple sexual assault cases involving both adults and minors have been reported in Greenville and the surrounding areas, raising serious concerns about safety and security.
On October 5, 2025, an ECU Alert was sent out regarding a sexual assault incident that occurred at Fletcher Residence Hall. The case, classified as 2nd-degree forcible rape, was reported around 3:30 p.m. Investigators confirmed that the victim and suspect were acquainted, which led the suspect to flee the scene. The investigation is being led by ECU campus police, who are focused on building a case and collecting evidence. In light of this incident, ECU police have advised college students to exercise caution and be vigilant, specifically watching for individuals without a one-card present.
In a developing story, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of 29-year-old Brandon David Lee King from Easley. King was arrested on October 2 on charges of child sexual abuse material, facing four counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He is currently being held in the Greenville County Detention Center without bond.
Further investigations have also led to the arrest of 35-year-old Brandon Michael Davis from Taylors, SC. Davis was apprehended on September 18, 2025, after investigators received a CyberTipline report from NCMEC indicating the distribution of child sexual abuse material. He faces three counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, with each charge carrying a potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
Adding to the troubling situation, a drop-in childcare center in Greenville named “Adventures after Skool” is under investigation following serious allegations. A mother, Jada Blount, reported that her three-year-old child claimed to have been sexually assaulted by another child at the facility, leading to the child seeking emergency medical attention. Although the owner, Crystal Smith, has denied the allegations, multiple mothers have come forward on social media sharing similar claims. The facility is reported to be unlicensed, even though Smith asserts she has approval from NCDHHS to operate.
In another serious case, former teacher Nicole Callaham is facing over ten charges related to the sexual abuse of a teenage boy. The incidents, which date back to 2021, have resulted in Callaham being charged with eight counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor and four counts of unlawfully placing a child at risk. Callaham was arrested in Anderson County and is currently under house arrest with GPS monitoring due to her pregnancy. She has been prohibited from contacting the victim and must undergo psychiatric evaluations, although no trial date has been established for her case.
The string of sexual assault incidents has prompted local authorities and communities to reevaluate safety measures, especially in educational and child-related environments. Investigations into these ongoing cases highlight the importance of reporting and addressing sexual assault allegations promptly.
