Sex offender raped a child in Horry County and now will spend life in prison
A 34-year-old man will spend life in prison for sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl.
Donald Frank Halstead, of Myrtle Beach, was found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor following a two-day trial, according to the 15th Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
A judge sentenced Halstead to life in prison without parole.
Halstead was a family friend of the victim and raped her in Horry County. Halstead was a registered sex offender at the time of the incident.
He was required to register after a 2012 conviction in South Carolina for incident exposure related to an incident involving three young girls.
