“We do intend to pursue the other charges pending against Alex Murdaugh. However, there are no charges against him at this time related to sex trafficking or sexual assault,” The South Carolina Attorney General’s Office spokesperson Robert Kittle stated. “We cannot confirm, and certainly cannot comment on, anything that may or may not be under investigation.”
Kittle added that in addition to the four charges that Murdaugh was found guilty of last Thursday, there were “99 State Grand Jury financial charges pending against him, and three local charges related to the roadside shooting incident: conspiracy, a false claim for payment, and filing a false police report.”
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) declined to comment to the Daily Mail on the investigation into Edwards’ claim, which targeted the sex trafficking that allegedly had deep ties to members of state law enforcement and government offices.
