    SC School Board Chairman Arrested On Multiple Child Sex Charges
    Breaking…

    Published 11 hours ago on March 4, 2021By Mandy Matney

    Following his sudden resignation Wednesday, Florence County School District Five Chairman Christopher Garrett Marsh was arrested on multiple child sex charges Thursday.



    Chris Marsh, 51, was charged with two counts of first-degree sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of second-degree statutory sexual conduct with a minor, and two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, according to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office.

    Officials with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office said that Marsh was arrested following an extensive investigation by child abuse investigators.

    According to the sheriff’s office, Marsh allegedly sexually assaulted the victim beginning in 2015 when the child was 5 years old and the sexual abuse continued through February 2021.

    Chris Marsh’s wife Mary Costa King Marsh was also arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of unlawful neglect of a child. She was given a $10,000 bond for each charge and released soon after she was booked.

    According to the sheriff’s office, Marsh was aware of the abuse in 2015 and “continued to allow the child to be exposed to a substantial risk of physical harm” through Feb. 21, 2021.

    WPDE reported that the school district accepted Marsh’s resignation letter, which he submitted on Wednesday. The TV station reported that he did not give a reason for his resignation.

    Chris Marsh has served as school board chairman of Florence County School District Five since 2019. He is also president of Hemingway Apparel in Hemingway, South Carolina.

    Marsh is from Johnsonville, South Carolina.

    Chris Marsh is at least the second South Carolina public official to be arrested on child sex charges in the last six months. He is awaiting a bond hearing.

    In September, in former Bamberg County councilman Kerry “Trent” Kinard was arrested and charged with multiple child sex crimes. Kinard is facing 10 child sex crimes charges in Bamberg and Jasper counties, as well as two federal gun charges.

    This story will be updated.

    Yep, I hope he encounters some cruel and unusual punishment prior to a slow and painful death.

    Incomprehensibly evil to use a child for your own gratification. It is nothing new to this world, but it sure seems to be getting more prevalent. Keep a close eye on adults that your children are around, even if only for short periods...

    Being from Johnsonville you would never imagine this from both of them. They both come from good and wealthy families. Just goes to show you never know what goes on behind close doors. I also have a five year old daughter and I couldn’t imagine what I would do if something like this happened to her. Just hope justice is served. I have plenty of ammo to donate for the cause if needed.

    I can imagine what I would do....


    EDIT: And wealth couldn't have less to do with any of this. Evil is evil and it doesn't care how much money anybody has.

    I like Johnsonville/Hemingway. Great hunting there. Very sorry to hear this news. Heart goes out to that child.

    Only thing that could make this better is if you could confirm he had at least a partial mullet?

    Too easy. A pair of pliers, drill bit, and brass knuckles
