Investigators say evidence recovered from a cellphone led to additional charges involving the alleged production of child sexual abuse material in Horry County.
HORRY COUNTY, SC — A Florence County man already facing charges in a neighboring jurisdiction has now been charged in Horry County following an investigation by the Horry County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
According to authorities, 53-year-old David Leshaun Marsh has been charged with producing child sexual abuse material after investigators reviewed evidence connected to a prior case in Florence County.
Officials said the Florence County Sheriff’s Office discovered child sexual abuse material on Marsh’s cellphone during its investigation. Investigators determined the material was derived from video surveillance footage captured at Marsh’s place of employment in Horry County.
After being notified of the findings, deputies with the Horry County Sheriff’s Office identified the 11-year-old victim depicted in the images, contacted the child’s family, and secured two arrest warrants related to the case.
Authorities said Marsh now faces a total of eight charges related to the sexual exploitation of a minor between the Florence County and Horry County investigations. The investigation remains ongoing.
All individuals named in this report are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Charges and case statuses may change as investigations and court proceedings continue.
