KINGSTREE, S.C. (WCBD)- A 61-year-old Kingstree man turned himself into authorities Monday after being accused of sexually assaulting a teenager, according to the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO).

According to WCSO, investigators were contacted in late June by the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office in reference to a reported sexual assault.

The investigation is ongoing.
