A Myrtle Beach man has been indicted by an Horry County grand jury on charges he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl he met on a social media website, according to court records.

Nigel Bradley Spence, 21, was indicted on charges of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to indictments released Tuesday. Spence remains jailed on $35,000 bond at J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

The charges stemmed from Sept. 26 when Horry County police said he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl he met via Facebook. The incident was reported to police Oct. 1 after the girl’s parents learned about it.

The girl told police she met Spence a few days prior to the incident via Facebook, according to a police report. The teen said she went to her grandmother’s to spend the night and then Spence picked her up.

The girl said they returned to Spence’s house and he gave her a beer that made her sleepy.

The teen said they drove to a dirt road near S.C. 544 and Dick Pond Road and Spence pointed a knife at her before he assaulted her, according to the report. The teen said Spence then dropped her off near her house.
