Conway man sentenced for sexual assault of minors. What we know
A Conway man pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two minors on Tuesday, according to Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson.
Ray Anthony Harden, 61, of Conway, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, and was given the maximum sentence for his crimes. Circuit Court Judge H. Steven DeBerry sentenced Harden to 15 years in prison for each count.
These sentences will run concurrently.
After being released from prison, Harden must register with the sex offender registry and wear an ankle monitor for the rest of his life.
“Officers with the Horry County Police Department investigated both cases and arrested Harden,” George Martin, the assistant solicitor who prosecuted the case for the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office said in a press release. “We appreciate the Horry County Police Department for bringing this defendant to justice.”
