Law enforcement collaboration scene
A 47-year-old Myrtle Beach man is in custody after law enforcement officials discovered him in possession of materials related to child sexual abuse. Binhaur Chan was apprehended on Tuesday and has been charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, according to a recent announcement made by South Carolina’s Attorney General, Alan Wilson.
Handling Chan’s arrest, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force was heavily involved in the process. Detailed investigations led by the Attorney General’s office concluded that Chan was in “possession of files of child sexual abuse material.” This crime is a felony punishable by up to 10 years-imprisonment per charge.
The Horry County Sheriff’s Office, Conway Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the ICAC task force collaborated in making the arrest and carrying out the subsequent investigation.
Chan is currently held at the J Reuben Long Detention Center, following his arrest on the aforementioned charges.
This incident highlights an alarming trend regarding the safety and security of minors in online spaces. It is crucial for authorities to maintain unyielding vigilance in monitoring and curbing these activities.
The nature of the crime committed by Chan is considered severe in both social and legal contexts. The crime of possessing child sexual abuse material attracts hefty penalties, including a substantial prison term. Depending on the number of offenses, an individual found guilty could serve up to 10 years in prison per count.
All parents and guardians are advised to maintain vigilance over the content their children access online and to immediately report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
