Victim in hit and run improvingA pedestrian injured in an early-morning hit-and-run accident on Folly Beach this month was making a slow recovery at a local hospital Friday, a day after a suspect surrendered to face charges in the case. George Heath Jr., a 31-year-old construction worker, still had trouble breathing on his own, his older sister, Pamela Robinson, said. Medical University Hospital listed his condition as fair on Friday, up from serious a day earlier. read more... 0 comment(s) / read /add comments Man in mid-20s claims sexual assault more than decade ago

A man in his mid-20s has alleged that Earl Darrell Linder, 57, sexually assaulted him twice more than a decade ago.
Last weekend, the man told his family about the alleged sexual assault and then contacted the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, Detective Diane Turner, said. "He just couldn't live with it any more," Turner said. Police did not identify the man because he was a juvenile at the time of the alleged assault.
Police charged Linder with second-degree attempted criminal sexual conduct with a minor; second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor; and a lewd act on a minor, Turner said. He does not have a prior criminal record. If convicted, he could face more than 25 years in prison, Turner said.
