A Lexington County pastor was recently behind bars on a sexual exploitation charge.
Court and jail records show Daniel Rabon was arrested on June 30 and charged with third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
According to an arrest warrant from the Attorney General’s office, Rabon had 26 or more image and video files of morphed images of identifiable minors engaged in sexual activity or in a state of sexually explicit nudity. The files were located on his cell phone.
The Lexington Baptist Association website and multiple public social media posts identify Rabon as the pastor of Taylor Street Baptist Church in Cayce. The church has also appeared to have removed its Facebook page.
Records show Rabon was released on a $125,000 bond on July 1. He was also ordered to be under GPS monitoring.
Taylor Street Baptist Church provided the following statement to WIS on Thursday afternoon:
“We at Taylor Street Baptist Church are shocked and in disbelief at the current situation we have found our church family in. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and helping law enforcement in any way we can. At this time the only knowledge or information we have is what is already known to the public.
We ask that all those that do to please pray for the victims and their families as well as the members of our congregation.”
The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department referred all questions to the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office, which typically prosecutes cases involving sexual exploitation of a minor.
WIS has also reached out to the attorney general’s office for more information on the case.
