U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, who serves South Carolina’s 1st district in Congress, has posted a series of tweets on October 6, 2025, alleging failures by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson in prosecuting child sexual abuse cases in Dorchester County.
In her first post at 17:01 UTC, Mace stated: “Under do-nothing, pedo-protector, nepo-baby Attorney General Alan Wilson:
Over 92% of p*do cases in Dorchester County (356 out of 385) were dismissed.
No trials were held during this time period.
Only 7.5% of all cases resulted in conviction.
Only 2 p*dos served https://t.co/zaIwPV9fKz“
An hour later, she followed up with another tweet referencing documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act: “JUST IN: We obtained FOIA documents showing South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson failed to prosecute p*dophiles in Dorchester County.
Nearly every single child p*dophile case under Wilson’s watch in Dorchester County has been dismissed or dropped.
WE WANT ANSWERS. NOW. https://t.co/yz5ihTqhCe“
A third tweet posted at 18:24 UTC contained only a link: “https://t.co/FxqFIXVRCY”
Mace’s public statements come amid ongoing scrutiny of how state officials handle allegations and prosecutions related to child sexual abuse. She referenced specific figures regarding case dismissals and convictions under the tenure of Attorney General Alan Wilson.
