Newberry Co. Sheriff’s Office reports reveal new events & allegations leading up to lawmaker’s indictments


NEWBERRY COUNTY, S.C. (WIS) - A 2020 incident report from the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office lays out allegations that a Midlands state house representative potentially committed criminal sexual conduct against his foster daughter.

Rep. Rick Martin (R-Newberry) is not facing any charges for the sexual allegations in the report. However, the same report alleges he gave the girl alcohol.

He is facing an indictment over that accusation and is suspended from his public office while the case is pending.
