Upstate man sentenced for trying to abduct, assault boy in Walmart restroom

An Upstate man was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty Monday to a charge stemming from a June 2019 incident in which he attempted to abduct and assault a young boy in a local Walmart store restroom, 8th Circuit Solicitor David M. Stumbo announced Tuesday.

Donald Allen Morrison, 52, of Trenton, Edgefield County, pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree attempted criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

Circuit Judge Donald Hocker then sentenced Morrison to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence for the offense allowed under state law. Morrison was already on the sex offender registry due to a previous conviction in 1992. Morrison will also now be eligible for indefinite civil commitment under the state’s Sexually Violent Predator Act upon completion of his criminal sentence.
