James Carrier Lloyd - Repeat Sex Offender - Arrested on new charges

A Honea Path man is in jail today after being accused of sex acts with a minor.

James Carrier Lloyd, 35, of 775 Broadmouth Honea Path, who was already on the sex offender registry, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with committing or attempting lewd acts upon a child under 16.

Carrier already is on the sex offender registry after being convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in 1995 in Kentucky. He was released on that charge in 1996.

According to Greenwood Sheriff’s Office reports, the alleged victim revealed to her mother and grandmother she had been sexually molested by Carrier. After talking with the alleged victim, the mother contacted the sheriff’s office for help.

According to reports, when the alleged victim would go over to a neighbor’s home, Carrier would come over. The alleged victim claimed Carrier had sexual contact with them while no one was looking. When the alleged victim would ask Carrier to stop, he would only do so momentarily. According to reports, the alleged victim also stated Carrier would come back and find them when they turned sixteen.

According to GCSO reports, the alleged victim made the same allegations against Carrier in a forensic interview with counselors and her mother.

James Lloyd Carrier was arrested on Tuesday.
