According to WMBF, Jason Roger Pope, 42, was arrested on Aug. 29 and is charged with three counts of trafficking in persons, three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and one count each of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, promoting prostitution of a minor and kidnapping.
Arrest warrants indicate between July 2017 and July 2019, Pope forced four minor girls to perform sex acts for money at a home on Lakeview Drive in Florence County. Investigators allege Pope engaged in sex acts with these four minors.
While not identifying a victim, investigators allege Pope held a minor in a home against her will and sexually assaulted her during that same period.
An incident report from the Florence County Sheriff’s Office states that in December 2011, deputies responded to a local hospital for a sexual misconduct call.
A 13-year-old girl told deputies that she had sex with Pope and later found out he had AIDS, the report states. The child’s friend introduced her to Pope, who allegedly gave the minor marijuana and alcohol, deputies said.
According to the report, Pope took a second victim to his home on Lakeview Drive and had sex with her as well. At the time, police said the minors identified Pope’s home and his license plate number. The second victim said she was sexually assaulted on Thanksgiving, and she too became concerned that she contracted AIDS, the report states.
Pope remains behind bars at the Florence County Detention Center. Bond has been denied on all of his charges.
