South Carolina Jury Awards $890K to Man Wrongly Accused by Condo Board

A Clarendon County jury has awarded $890,000 in damages to a man after members of the governing board at his condominium wrongly identified him as a registered sex offender. James E. King thinks the situation stemmed from a dispute with the board of directors because he was behind on association fees. Testimony indicated that board members circulated a flyer from the S.C. Sex Offender Registry website about a registered offender which included a picture and information about a man named William James King.
