Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors take internet crimes cases very seriously, particularly those involving child pornography or online solicitation of a minor. In fact, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and local law enforcement agencies have crime labs specifically devoted to building computer crime cases.

Consequences for possession of child pornography are extremely harsh, even for a first offense. Most child pornography cases are charged as sexual exploitation of a minor. There are three degrees: third degree which is possession, second degree which is distribution, and first degree which is manufacturing. Most child pornography charges include at least one count of distribution (second degree), since the images are often housed on file-sharing sites. South Carolina has mandatory prison time for first- and second-degree charges.
