Richland Co., SC (WOLO) — Attorneys for the Strom Law Firm are representing a 21 year old man they say was repeatedly raped while in custody at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
According to attorneys, their client was in custody for a drug charge when he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by multiple inmates and a guard.
Earlier this week the Richland County Sheriff’s Department announced they are investigating this and other allegations of sexual assault at the jail.
A spokesperson for Richland County says jail officials notified the Sheriff’s Department as soon as the allegations were brought to light.
