Walhalla, SC. An Oconee County jury took only an hour to find Steven Gregory Frost guilty of Criminal Sexual Conduct with a minor, first degree. The Honorable Cordell Maddox sentenced Frost to 40 years.
During October and November of 2011, the defendant would occasionally visit the home of his mother, who had adopted a young girl. On one of these occasions, he molested the 8 year old child after asking her to come into a bedroom to help him with something. The mother entered the room during the incident and took the child from the scene and told the defendant to leave. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.
“Steven Frost’s actions against this young lady were despicable. Had the defendant’s mother not entered the room at that moment, who knows what further damage he would have inflicted on his victim,” said Solicitor Chrissy Adams. “Today’s verdict has taken a child molester off of our streets and will allow the victim to know that her attacker will be behind bars for what will likely be the rest of his natural life.”
