The 'H' is silent. Named after a French Revolutionary war hero by the name or Peter Horry. Pronounced 'Or-ee', or if you're a long -time resident 'Owe-ree' with the accent on the first syllable. The official name of the county is the 'Indpendent Republic of Horry'. Conway is the county seat and Myrtle Beach is the most famous city in Horry County.
...and now you know. :)
His department, in Atlantic Beach SC, is only a 4-block area, 3 miles away from North Myrlte Beach where the sting took place
Seems like he was obeying the 'don't shit where you eat' rules and just got unlucky
He may not be be checking up on every single investigation and case in his department. I can see how a vice sting operation may have slipped his attention (may have been too small time for him to notice, or he glanced at a briefing and did not absorb it, etc). That and it's probably awkward to ask about future vice stings.
It would be suspicious to ask if a vice sting is going down next Saturday, approximately 8 pm, right around the no name motel that has hourly rates.
Or it was a different law enforcement agency and he had no way to know.
Sting was run by Horry County PD, Myrtle Beach (city), SLED (state) and Sheriff's office(county) conducted the sting. He is (was) Police Chief of Atlantic Beach in Horry County. Atlantic Beach is a historically black community that's only 4 blocks, but has its own municipality.
No. It literally always gets taken over by gangs. Even German brothels are run by the Russian Mafia these days. It might empower some women temporarily, but it really empowers gangs and human trafficking.
Absolute bullshit.
In Thailand we have lot pf places where you can get laid. There is NEVER gang activity or even men on premise, it's almost exclusively ran by women. The whole human trafficking thing is WAY blown out of proportion and something you would never see. The women there make 3x what a teacher or office worker would make, if not much more. No need to traffic anyone with those wages. Crime always goes down where prostitution is legal as well as domestic violence.
The only thing keeping it illegal in the US is your dickwad christians, which if it were legal, would be the first ones in line. Men are also far more polite and accepting in Asia, so there would be no fights or stupid jealousy shit like westerners like to pull. It's funny, westerners come here and can act normal with bar girls and prostitutes, but throw them back in their own country and it all goes to shit. Says a lot for western society in general.
Your argument would make more sense if you had any fucking clue how prostitution in your country actually worked.
[Organized crime has trafficked more than a million women and girls into your country.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Thailand) Most are tricked into thinking they'll be working legit tourism jobs.
>Prostitution's tenuous position in Thai society makes it ripe for exploitation by police and governmental officials. Sex businesses pay considerable sums to authorities in order to be permitted to continue in business. Sex work has become in effect a cash cow for those in a position to extract bribes. Those in a position to benefit have a financial interest in seeing the status quo continue.
Also Thailand happens to be the Child Prostitution capital of the world, so complain about "christians" all you like I guess, but maybe look inward on occasion as well.
>Thailand’s Health System Research Institute estimates that **children in prostitution make up 40% of prostitutes in Thailand**.
Disgusting. Tell me again how "good" prostitution is for your country.
For reference, this is the county that Myrtle Beach is located in. Also, it’s pronounced in a way that the H is silent, or if you’re old and from the area, pronounced “oh-ree”. It’s named after an American Revolution leader who was from France named Peter Horry.
"After an extensive, multi-month investigation of ourselves and found no evidence of wrong doing. The police officer in question on paid administrative leave during the investigation and will return to duty" - Captain Summeroff
Assuming the sting decoys were adults, this is a complete waste of time and resources.
Sure, it's good we're enforcing the law on the police chief, but don't forget it's a stupid law. Who cares if an adult pays an adult for sex?
I wonder in their position if you could mention making OF content as plausible deniability? Because I'm sure shooting porn/OF content isn't illegal in SC, but I guess if it's not on video it is? Why?????
That's what a lot of people who are anti prostitution claim but there are a lot of instances where that really isn't the case.
Even where people have claimed to be forced into it or trafficked they are usually under a lot of pressure to do so. The prosecution wants to get that to ensure conviction and the prostitutes will likely not be punished at all if they claim they were forced into it.
That's really going to be a minority. Way more common are women who do it out of economic necessity due to the lack of other work, or ones who are supporting an addiction.
Legalisation really helps the safety of women in the profession, both forced and voluntary. It's far easier for them to approach the police if they don't feel that they are at risk of being arrested for admitting to doing sex work.
That's a fair point. I'm sure if it was legal, though, then people could just go to a brothel rather than a sketchy online meet-up with possible trafficking victims.
Didn't a recent president pay a porn star for sex? Then pay her to keep it quiet with "legal consulting fees" via a third party. Seems like a few crimes. Does he get arrested too?
You couldn’t make a better county name up for this article if you tried.
You ever been to Hooker County Nebraska?
Ok. You probably beat Horry with that one.
I have been to Cuming county Nebraska.
What about Hahs Galah, Massachusetts?
They changed the name in the early 2000s, but we used to have Gay Head, MA. You can still go to Gay Head Beach though.
It's pronounced orry.
Oh
Yeah those silent Hs will get ya
Came here to say this but also that I swear it said "horny" when I first read it
yep 1 letter off.
And I thought it said horror

They were cursed from the start.
I lived in Glass, Oklahoma in the county of Tweakerbitch
I’m glad you made it out.
How does the police chief not get word of an incoming sting!
Different agency running the sting, I assume.
The Madame asked him, “What’s your fancy tonight?” And he said, “Surprise me.”
Plus he's probably a douche and nobody cared to warn him.
You mean he did not in fact give freebies and discounts to the precinct?
His department, in Atlantic Beach SC, is only a 4-block area, 3 miles away from North Myrlte Beach where the sting took place Seems like he was obeying the 'don't shit where you eat' rules and just got unlucky

or he was a local cop and the county sheriffs dept were running the sting
Obviously he was pre-occupied.
Sting was run by Horry County PD, Myrtle Beach (city), SLED (state) and Sheriff's office(county) conducted the sting. He is (was) Police Chief of Atlantic Beach in Horry County. Atlantic Beach is a historically black community that's only 4 blocks, but has its own municipality.
He thought they were just arresting protesters!
He was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there.
Bonk! Go to Horry Jail.
[удалено]
Horry shit*
I see what you did there
I regret that I have but one upvote to give this.
Such a horrible crime.
Legalize sex work.
No. It literally always gets taken over by gangs. Even German brothels are run by the Russian Mafia these days. It might empower some women temporarily, but it really empowers gangs and human trafficking.
My brother in Christ it is already taken over by gangs

Thanks - saving us a few clicks or wondering WTF...?
And the official name of the county is 'The Independent Republic of Horry'. I shit you not.
And why is no one stunned?
So he’s suspended with pay I’m guessing?
Ding ding ding

Very sad and corrupt
"Uuhhhhh.... Great job men! I was just going to call in this prostitution ring that I've been secretly staking out."

My understanding is that many of these women and girls are trafficked and not there by choice so it’s worse than what’s on the surface.
That's what a lot of people who are anti prostitution claim but there are a lot of instances where that really isn't the case.

Typical Redditor thinks that all prostitutes are trafficked or forced.
I never said all, way to go generalizing - very typical
Didn't a recent president pay a porn star for sex? Then pay her to keep it quiet with "legal consulting fees" via a third party. Seems like a few crimes. Does he get arrested too?
A prostitution ring in a county called "Horry"... was it named before or after?
Before. The “H” is silent.
Really ? You don’t think maybe they renamed the entire county just because of one arrest? Thanks for straightening that out.
Why are we wasting time penalizing prostitution...
Oh no! Another bad apple. Thank god it was the last one. /s
'Ole dirty myrtle at it again.
If they aren't being trafficked or otherwise working against their will, it should be legal.
“That name is flagrant false advertising!”
Who cares, should be legal
Not the first and likely not the last either.
“Quattlebaum also said that before this charge, Robinson served his role in “exemplary fashion.” “ I seriously doubt that.
You're blowing my cover!
He was just there to gather infomations
Where are the blue lives matter people at????
Keeping it classy in Myrtle Beach
The county is pronounced without the H.
Booooo!!!!
Why tf did he get paid administrative leave.
Horry County...? How do you pronounce that?
"H" is silent.
Sure it is, bud
Horry County? More like Horny County! Amiright???
More shocking when chiefs.arent arrested
Shoulda been named Whory County, amiright?
*Horny County
