NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. A North Charleston Police community service
cop has been arrested and accused of assaulting three girls and a young woman
who were guests at his home.
Authorities say 20-year-old Salvatore Maniche was arrested
last week and remains in the Dorchester County Jail.
Court records show he faces 16 charges, among them criminal
sexual conduct, assault and kidnapping. Authorities say the incidents took
place over two years.
Sheriff's deputies were notified last week when a Fort
Dorchester High School teacher reported bruises on an 18-year-old student.
Court documents show three of the other victims were 16.
Maniche is a civilian employee of the police department and
has been placed on unpaid leave. It was not immediately clear if he had an
attorney.
