Greenville County woman arrested on Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor and related charges

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) - South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Amanda Kamrin Smith, 46, of Pelzer, S.C., on six charges connected to the sexual exploitation of a minor. Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office made the arrest. Investigators with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office out of N.C. assisted with the investigation.

Investigators state Smith engaged in criminal sexual conduct with a minor, manufactured files of child sexual abuse material*, showed sexually explicit images to a minor, and had unlawful conduct towards a minor. 

Smith was arrested on March 20, 2026. She is charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor (§16-3-655(A)(1)); two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, first degree (§16-15-395), a felony offense punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment on each count; one count of dissemination of obscene material to a person under age twelve (§16-15-355), a felony offense punishable by up to 15 years; and one count of unlawfully placing a child at risk of harm (§63-05-0070). 

This case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office.

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

* Child sexual abuse material, or CSAM, is a more accurate reflection of the material involved in these heinous and abusive crimes. "Pornography" can imply the child was a consenting participant.  Globally, the term child pornography is being replaced by CSAM for this reason.
