Rep. Nancy Mace: Seventy Years is What Travis Reed Gaye Faced For Sexually Exploiting a Minor

January 20, 2026

South Carolina went three years with zero jury trials for child predators, with cases pled down behind closed doors. No trials. No accountability. No justice for children.

We introduced the Preventing Prosecutors from Protecting Predators Act to expose a system failing our children and to demand accountability from prosecutors nationwide.
