ORANGEBURG COUNTY, SC – A 5-year-old girl has tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and a 25-year-old man is in custody in connection with the crime.

Gaffney

TyRik Linnard Jaquez Gaffney of Orangeburg, South Carolina, is charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor or attempt with a victim under 11 years of age in the first degree, according to an Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office warrant.

According to an incident report from the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office, the victim’s mother took her to the doctor, where she received the positive results. The report goes on to say that the victim told her mother that she was being abused and that the suspect would “put toys down there.” According to the arrest warrant, the crime happened in April 2023.

Gaffney allegedly also went to the hospital with “symptoms consistent with an STD.” Two other parties connected to Gaffney tested positive for an STD, the warrant states.

Gaffney remains at the Orangeburg County Detention Center, and a circuit judge may consider setting his bond later.

If Gaffney is convicted, he faces up to life in prison. In South Carolina, life sentences don’t allow the possibility of parole.
