(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that Scott Norman Christner, 59, of Seneca, S.C., was convicted today by a jury on one count of Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor in the First Degree. Judge Cordell Maddox sentenced Christner to 25 years in prison.

Deputy Attorney General Heather Weiss and Assistant Attorney General Kinli Abee prosecuted the case for the Attorney General’s Office. Attorney General Wilson also commends the thorough investigation by Seneca Police Chief Casey Bowling and the work of investigators with the Attorney General’s Office.
