Oconee County Man Charged with Prostituting Young Girl
The alleged abuse involved a girl who's now 13 years old. An arrest isn't a conviction.
A 19-year-old Oconee County man was jailed late Thursday on charges related to the alleged prostitution of a young girl.
Tyler Kaahlil Standifur of Dowdy Road is charged with aggravated child molestation, trafficking in persons for the purpose of sexual servitude, pandering by compulsion and enticing a child for indecent purposes, jail records confirm. He was being held without bond.
Oconee County Sheriff's investigators were notified by counselors of Oconee County Schools that a 13-year-old student told them she had been prostituting for Standifur, according to a news release.Â
