Three kids in protective custody in sexual assault case

Posted: Updated:

CAMDEN, SC (WIS) - Three children have been placed into protective custody after the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office says at least two of them were sexually assaulted by a Camden man.

Investigators arrested 32-year-old Joseph Alton Boone and charged him with two counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim under 11 years of age.

The sheriff's office says they received a complain from the children's mother that her 3-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy had been sexually assaulted by Boone, her live-in boyfriend.

Forensic interviews of the children and an interview with Boone corroborated the allegation.

Boone is currently at the Kershaw County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.
