Production note: This article was reviewed and rewritten through Registry Recognizer's manual editorial process on 2026-09-03. The booking record and booking photograph are verified against the source system's own retained capture. The booking source published the statute citation 16-03-0655(B)(1), read here as S.C. Code Section 16-3-655(B)(1). A search for Laurens County court documents was not attempted: this outlet does not yet have a configured court-records source for that county, so no court filings were found or ruled out either way. No case disposition is on record.
Dalton Jackson Solesbee was booked at the Laurens County jail on September 2, 2026, according to the Laurens County detention roster published through the county's public inmate portal. The record lists one charge, written as "396 - Sex / Criminal sexual conduct with minor, or Attempt - victim 11 to 14 yrs of age inclusive - Second deg.," and records the bond as "NO BOND." The leading number is the roster's own internal offense code, not a statute. The roster does publish a statute for the charge: Section 16-3-655(B)(1) of the South Carolina Code.
Section 16-3-655 of the South Carolina Code defines criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Its second-degree provision covers sexual battery with a victim who is fourteen years of age or less but at least eleven years of age, and separately covers a victim at least fourteen but under sixteen where the actor holds a position of familial, custodial or official authority or is older than the victim. The code provides for imprisonment of up to twenty years on conviction. This description explains the law's operative coverage as written in the official code; it is not a finding that Solesbee committed any element of the offense, and the penalty described would apply only upon conviction.
A booking record is a public record of an arrest and a charge. It is not a conviction, and Solesbee is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. No indictment, plea, or case disposition is recorded for this booking.
