South Carolina, particularly the Lowcountry region, has a major child sex trafficking problem
There is a lot of 'elite' child trafficking in South Carolina, but I only recently heard of it, and it seems to have somewhat gone under the radar of Voat PG. Some general background:
Live 5 Investigates: Sex trafficking in the Lowcountry
Why is trafficking so prevalent in South Carolina
Sex trafficking and human trafficking is flourishing in South Carolina. Charleston is the number two place in the state that sees the most trafficking.
“We’ve dealt with cases where it’s happened in rural areas, hotels and motels. We’ve had it in nice private homes, we’ve had it in clubs. It’s happening all over the place,” [Detective Charlie] Benton said….the Charleston area is known for being a hot spot. “It is known as being such a profitable market"
Human Trafficking: Modern Slavery in South Carolina
At 0:20, Assistant State Attorney General Marie Sazehn:
South Carolina citizens are being trafficked by people who were born and raised in South Carolina, here in South Carolina….someone can be trafficked out of one place, and not ever be moved…..People don’t realize it can happen so close to home and it absolutely 100% does.
Child Sexual Abuse Cases at The Citadel Military College in Charleston
The Citadel’s website and Wikipedia
(2012) Police Warned Citadel in 2001
Young campers jumping into bed with counselors. Counselors talking sex around kids. Booze and tobacco in the barracks. A counselor taking boys on off-campus jaunts without parental consent.
These were the practices Charleston police warned The Citadel about in August 2001 after a detective spent time at the military college investigating a complaint of a camper being molested. The probe didn't yield an arrest, but police were concerned by the questionable goings-on at the camp for young boys.
"These are the most serious findings that were brought to my attention during my investigation," then-Sgt. Dale Middleton wrote to The Citadel's commandant. "I am sure these activities will be addressed and corrected in the future."
The school's reaction?
"I got no response from the school," Middleton said last week.
….one year after Middleton's letter, senior counselor Louis "Skip" ReVille reportedly hosted young boys in his dorm room on multiple occasions at night to watch porn and masturbate together….ReVille, who is now accused of molesting 22 boys across the region….

The 38-year-old former principal, teacher and coach was involved in at least 15 organizations, groups, clubs or schools where he gained access to his victims. This included running the summer sports camp at The Citadel and serving as principal at Coastal Christian Prep in Mt. Pleasant.
(2011) Citadel Sex Abuser Later Carjacked Cocaine Mule
The man at the heart of a Penn State-style sex abuse scandal at the Citadel is now in prison in Puerto Rico awaiting sentencing for his role in the kidnapping, robbery and murder of a cocaine courier by a SWAT team of fake federal law enforcement agents.
Former Marine Capt. Michael Arpaio, now 37, served 15 months in prison for molesting boys at the South Carolina military college's summer camp between 1995 and 2001. According to lawsuits filed against Arpaio, while a counselor he molested boys, gave them drugs and alcohol and made them watch while he had sex with a woman.
The camp closed in 2006 after the Citadel paid $3.8 million to five campers who said Arpaio had abused them.
After serving his time, Arpaio….moved to the U.S. possession of Puerto Rico and started using the name Michael Holland. He became part owner of a restaurant in the tourist district of Old San Juan.
Only 15 months?? That's outrageous! Fortunately, Arpaio received a sentence of 12 years for conspiring with 11 men in Puerto Rico, including law enforcement officers, to carjack a drug courier whom they strangled to death.

Charlotte, N.C. (AP) -- As Charlotte, North Carolina, celebrates being chosen Friday to host the 2020 Republican National Convention, an undercurrent of concern about the potential for violence runs through the Democratic-leaning city.
The GOP's national committee selected North Carolina's largest city over Las Vegas as hundreds of party activists gathered in Austin, Texas, for the committee's summer meeting.
"The city that I represent has truly established its place on the national stage, and I want to thank you again for the opportunity to showcase our city and showing the world how special we are," said Mayor Vi Lyles, Charlotte's first black female mayor. "We're a growing center of diversity and inclusiveness in the New South, and we're going to show you the true meaning of Southern hospitality."
Under Lyles' predecessor, Jennifer Roberts, Charlotte passed an LGBTQ nondiscrimination ordinance in 2016 that included allowing people to choose whichever bathroom corresponds to their gender identity. The Republican-led General Assembly responded with House Bill 2, which prevented other local governments from passing similar laws and directed transgender people in schools and government buildings to use restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificates.

I'm sure numerous fine men and women are associated with The Citadel :
Just to mention, though, Citadel alumni include Porter-Gaud School child rapist the late Edward Mein Fischer, and one of his accomplices, late former P-G principal James Bishop "Skip" Alexander, who apparently attended at the same time:
