Aiken Sheriff Arrests Lexington Man in Internet Predator Case

Attorney General Alan Wilson announced today that Jamey Busbee, 30, of 118 Bluefield Court in Lexington, South Carolina, was arrested on November 9, 2011, in an Internet Predator case investigated by the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.

The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office is a member of the Attorney General’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

Busbee was arrested on two (2) counts of Criminal Solicitation of a Minor (§16-15-342), a felony offense punishable to ten (10) years imprisonment on each count, and one (1) count of Dissemination of Obscene Material to a Minor (§16-15-345), a felony offense punishable to ten (10) years imprisonment.

Arrest warrants allege that beginning June 1, 2011, Busbee, using the alias “Jason Smith,” solicited sex on the Internet from individuals he believed to be a twelve (12) and a thirteen (13) year old girl. He also emailed one of the children a nude photo of himself. Parents of one of the victims discovered evidence of the crimes, and notified the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.

The Lexington County Sheriff’s Office, also a member of the Task Force, assisted with the case.

A booking photo is available through the Aiken County Detention Center.

This is the two hundred ninety-eighth (298th) arrest for the Task Force.

The case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Office.

Wilson stressed that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in a court of law.
