Man charged with 35 child sex crimes in Charleston pleads guilty, gets no prison time

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A man facing dozens of charges in connection to attempted child sexual exploitation is now out of jail and will spend no time in prison despite his guilty plea this week.

Edward Borne, who is originally from Texas was slapped with 35 charges in Charleston County in July 2023.

Not to defend this creeper but this is clickbait outrage. He was sentenced to time served. The article fails to mention how long that was. Is very normal for someone jailed awaiting trial or jailed while awaiting sentencing to get credit for that time.

It also seems like pretty clear overcharging by the police. Sounds like they charged him with one count for every message he sent, and then also tried to charge both the attempt and the completed crime of solicitation.

Let me guess, he is rich or a politician, or he knows someone who is?

Street justice is the best best we can hope for.

Looks like he was ruled unqualified due to his reputation last month but he remains on as a judge until the end of his term… And could remain if the state congress keeps him… But the article paints a picture that that’s very unlikely.

So the good news is that the guy seems to be on borrowed time, the bad news is that he’s got a history of letting monsters back out on the street.

The judge in this case, Bentley Price, has been found to be unqualified by the state bar association. Unfortunately, this doesn’t restrict him from office, where he can continue to let child rapists freely roam the community. This judge also let a murder suspect out on bond who, while awaiting his murder trial, shot a 9 year old. Best I can tell, south carolina doesn’t currently have a way to recall judges who, like Bentley Price, are openly in favor of children being raped and murdered, but this bill looks like it would provide the means of doing so. It hasn’t been updated since 2021.

Thanks Judge Bentely Price

The Honorable Bentley Douglas Price was deemed overall “unqualified” after receiving one unqualified mark, in the “reputation” category.

“Honorable” my ass

Was he really “slapped”? More like he was gently caressed with 35 charges. Ffs.

Whoa! Everyone calm down! It’s Ok. He’s a conservative. They’re allowed to.

Correct! This is how many conservatives reproduce.

Well, most of them can’t reproduce yet.

Pyoobertie? Is that something they teach in that libtard “sex-you-all edjumakashun” class?

Their civil war is because they want the right to have sex with children

They’re perfectly fine with their own kids

They are, now that slavery is banned.

They’ve been diddling their own kids for millennia. Just read the Bible haha.

Borne solicited someone he believed was underage for sex and encouraged them to make child sex abuse material

So he got stung by a cop pretending to be a kid. Eh. I’m fine with not having tax dollars pay for his room and board if there wasn’t any actual harm committed. The guy knows he’s going to be under a microscope for the rest of his life, so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.

Chozo ,

That assumes that this person is capable of normal decision-making abilities in the first place. Judging by the fact that he got hit with 35 child solicitation charges to begin with, I'm not gonna hold my breath on him not becoming a repeat offender.

You have no clue what so ever about these kinds of people if you think that.

They don't stop, they just hide it better.

And this is never victimless.

What’s it feel like to defend child molesters?

SuddenlyBlowGreen ,

What about the rest of the 35 charges?

so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.

And I’m sure he’s never tried it before either. No point in looking into that.

Then you’re a naive fool. They should put this asshole down before he escalates to harming an actual child. If he hasn’t already.

Thumbnail had me worried about Tom Segura for a second.

KoalaUnknown ,

Not the first time this judge has done this.

jopepa ,

What kind of oversight do judges have, how is this allowed?

quindraco ,

Depends on the court, but for this judge, the primary oversight is that the state legislature in question can replace him and they keep choosing not to.

jopepa , (edited )

Fucking yikes. Is there nobody keeping the state legislature in check?

JustMy2c ,

Yes, God and Gop

jopepa ,

Fuuuucking yikes.

Judge Bentley Price appears to be quite the dick swinger.
