Former Magistrate Pleads Guilty to Child Abuse Charges | Charleston News
Description
Former Charleston County magistrate James B. Gosnell Jr. just admitted to possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material involving kids under 12 — a shocking betrayal after nearly 30 years on the bench. Facing up to 40 years in prison, Gosnell’s lawyer says he’s taking responsibility to protect his family, calling him a flawed but not evil man. But the U.S. Attorney saw “evil in his soul.” The case started when his shady online transactions were traced, leading to a massive seizure from his home. He insists he never touched a child. Now, prosecutors are asking the public to help identify any victims — and Gosnell’s legacy in the justice system is now stained by these horrific charges.
