NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for employment, credit, insurance, housing, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify public criminal-record resources in Lexington County and South Carolina. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent private reference site. It does not keep government criminal records, conduct an official check, retrieve a file, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
The content identifies Lexington County custodians, including the sheriff, criminal courts, SLED's statewide repository, and the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry Tool. Some pages also provide access to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on the following restrictions. You must not:
- Use automated scraping tools, bots, or similar processes on these pages
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Use the content for a housing, employment, lending, or insurance decision
- Disrupt performance or prevent another visitor from gaining access
- Violate a federal, South Carolina, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use this website or a linked tool to intimidate, harass, stalk, threaten, or discriminate against another person. South Carolina places special limits on registry misuse under S.C. Code §23-3-510, and certain misuse of South Carolina Sex Offender Registry Tool data can be criminal. The state's public-record rules also restrict commercial solicitation with personal information obtained from government under S.C. Code §30-2-50. Registry access supports lawful community awareness, never retaliation, vigilantism, or a prohibited screening decision.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. Its advertising partners are not presented as providers for regulated screening. Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set insurance eligibility or price
- Evaluate a housing application
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Determine creditworthiness
- Decide access to a license, permit, or benefit when the FCRA applies
A regulated check must come from a properly authorized and FCRA-compliant source. SLED controls official South Carolina criminal-history products, subject to the laws governing the requested use.
5. No Legal Advice
General information about Lexington County records is not legal advice. Only a licensed South Carolina attorney can advise how an expungement rule, charge, conviction, or warrant affects a specific situation.
6. No Warranties
All content is supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:
- A partner's results will be complete or correctly matched
- Every page is free from bugs or security flaws
- The service will remain uninterrupted
- All information is current, accurate, and complete
Charges, dispositions, seals, and expungement orders can change what a criminal record shows. Delays and gaps are possible. Only the record-holding court, sheriff, or agency can make an official statement about its file.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to sheriff pages, court systems, SLED, legal-aid organizations, or outside search providers. Those destinations control their own availability, prices, content, and data practices. Their terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Lexington County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, code, logos, and graphics. Written permission is required before copying, altering, distributing, or creating derivative material.
