Former deputy accused of forcing child to perform sex acts at gunpoint

MAYSVILLE, S.C.

A former Lee County sheriff's deputy who police say forced a 9-year-old child to perform sex acts on him at gunpoint has been arrested.

Fifty-six-year-old Wayne Atkinson of Mayesville was being held Wednesday at a Sumter County detention center.

He is charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

It's not clear if Atkinson had an attorney.

A number for Atkinson was not published and a woman at the jail said she didn't know if he had a lawyer.

Also, 51-year-old Shirley Jackson is charged with unlawful
conduct toward a child.

Investigators think the child was Jackson's foster child.
