Myrtle Beach man sentenced to life in prison

A Myrtle Beach man was convicted this past week of assaulting a 5-year-old girl and sentenced to serve the rest of his natural life in prison.

An Horry County jury convicted Donald Frank Halstead, 34, on first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor following a two-day trial, said Leigh Andrew, the assistant solicitor who along with Mary-Ellen Walter, a senior assistant solicitor, prosecuted the case for the 15th Circuit Solicitor鈥檚 Office.

Circuit Judge D. Craig Brown presided over the trial and gave Halstead the maximum sentence of life in prison. Halstead will not be eligible for parole and will serve every day of his sentence.

Halstead was a family friend of the victim and sexually assaulted her when she was 5-years-old, Andrew said. Prosecutors and the victim asked for the maximum sentence because of the age of the victim and the fact that Halstead was already on the sex offender registry from a 2012 conviction involving three young girls.

鈥淚 ask for the maximum punishment where I know I鈥檒l be safe and he can鈥檛 hurt anyone else,鈥� the victim said to Judge Brown before he sentenced Halstead.

Andrew commended the victim for her bravery during the proceedings.

鈥淭he victim, while still quite young, showed amazing courage and strength while facing her attacker during trial,鈥� Andrew said. 鈥淲e are grateful for the hard work and dedication of Horry County Police Detective Blake Klauder in helping to achieve justice in this case.鈥�
