Rep. Nancy Mace: It's About Protecting The Most Vulnerable Among Us

January 22, 2026

Protecting children isn't political, it's personal and nonpartisan.

Last week in South Carolina, over a dozen mothers joined us at a press conference, outraged a convicted child sex offender was released within hours of violating probation, just 11 days after conviction.

Despite a media blackout, one brave child saw the predator from our press conference and came forward immediately to file a police report. 

This kind of courage reminds us why this work matters.

South Carolina has seen a 400% increase in child sexual abuse and sex trafficking over the last couple of years. This isn't a red or blue issue, it's about protecting the most vulnerable among us.

We're working with experts from RAINN and the National Criminal Justice Training Center to find real solutions. We need to support law enforcement, hold offenders accountable, and keep our children safe.
