HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) -- Horry County authorities have charged a 41-year-old Aynor man with multiple sex crimes involving a minor.

Eddie Mitchell Cornelius was arrested on Wednesday and charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct and voyeurism. He remains in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on a $40,500 bond.

Horry County police began their investigation in September after being told that sexually explicit photos and videos involving minors had been found Cornelius' Google drive. Warrants allege that Cornelius recorded the images in March 2024 in the victim's bedroom without their knowledge.
