A 46-year-old man faces two decades in prison for the sexual assault of a teenager in Horry County, according to a report.

Horry County police charged John Kehborn with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor. He was booked into J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Tuesday and is being held on a $20,000 bond.
