Ex-SC sheriff off to prison on 1-year misconduct sentence
A former sheriff in South Carolina reported to prison Wednesday to serve a one-year sentence for using his power and office to pressure a personal assistant to have sex with him. The South Carolina Supreme Court refused to reconsider its August decision upholding ex-Greenville County Sheriff Will Lewis' 2019 conviction, meaning Lewis ran out of appeals. Lewis was at the state prison's evaluation center Wednesday as officials decide where he should serve his sentence, South Carolina Corrections Department spokeswoman Chrysti Shain said.
