Attorney General Alan Wilson announces prison sentence for Aiken man already on probation for Child Sexual Abuse Material

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – Attorney General Alan Wilson announces that, on March 3, Kevin Kenyatta Johnson pleaded guilty to two counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, Third Degree, in Aiken County before the Honorable Martha Rivers.

In May 2024, a member of the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding possible child sexual abuse material being sent. After obtaining subscriber information, Johnson was shown as the assigned subscriber at an address in Aiken County. A search warrant was conducted on the address on July 10, 2024. Johnson lived alone in the home. During the search, investigators informed Johnson of his Miranda rights, and they seized his devices. A search of those devices determined that Johnson was in possession of child sexual abuse material. Johnson was already on probation for a conviction for Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, Third Degree, in Aiken County, from January 2024.

Judge Rivers sentenced Johnson to eight years in prison for each charge, which are to run concurrently. He will be a Tier III sex offender upon his release, and he consented to the forfeiture of his devices.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Johnson prosecuted the case for the state.
