Surprise SC Senate Democratic candidate faces felony obscenity charge
SC Democrats ask surprise SC Senate candidate to withdraw after learning of felony charge | StarTribune.com
What is WRONG with these people who run for public office? They have to know they are in the public eye, that what they do and say can and will be made public. Either they don't care or we, their constituents, give them too much credit and pay too much homage to political office.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina's surprise Democratic nominee to challenge U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint is facing a pending felony charge.
Court records show 32-year-old Alvin Greene was arrested in November and charged with showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student. The felony charge carries up to five years in prison.
Greene said he had no comment when asked about the charge Wednesday and hung up on a reporter.
The unemployed veteran posted bond after his arrest. He has yet to enter a plea or be indicted.
Records indicate Greene showed photos to a woman and talked about going to her room at a university dorm.
