COLUMBIA – A former South Carolina legislator has been fired from the state prosecutor's office after authorities say he was discovered in a cemetery with a stripper.
Police reports released Wednesday state that 66-year-old Roland Corning was stopped Monday after his car was spotted in an area police say is known for sex.
Police say an 18-year-old woman who works at a strip club was with Mr. Corning. Police also found Viagra and sex toys that Mr. Corning said were there "just in case."
Mr. Corning identified himself as a prosecutor and was not arrested. A spokesman for Attorney General Henry McMaster said today that Mr. Corning no longer worked there.
Mr. Corning was a state legislator in the 1990s. He has worked in the top prosecutor's office since 2000
There was no answer at a number listed for Mr. Corning.

66 only goes into 18 = 0.27 times....I guess he was going to need that Viagra! Couldn't he afford a room?!?!
Sounds like the charges ought to be assault with a dead weapon.
Finally, a politician does something that I can admire.
" was not arrested "---he's 66 and she's 18!! Not arrested for WHAT???
Why is this a story? A lawyer has no moral expectations. As an ex-politician, he's not a politician. Why is this relevant. Man loses job for not breaking law.
He was promoting family values.
What's the crime of being with a stripper? Nothing was going on, was it? After all, Mr. Corning took a Viagra pill and all it did was make his big toe grow six inches!
He took off when he saw the officer, who had already gotten out of his car. That's what he did wrong. The stupid part is that if he hadn't tried to elude the officer, nothing would've happened. He would've been questioned and told to leave.
So, he's guilty for taking off in his car but not for taking off his clothes which he did not do!
Turns out he had her bent over Strom Thurmond's headstone. That is why he was arrested.
That doesn't make much sense, TrueVoice, ole Strom had plenty of girls bent over his headstone over the years. Why's it against the law now?
AC, you need a better article than this to qualify as newsworthy. Who gives a rat's behind if the two were dilly-dallying; that's their business, not yours or anyone else's. She's 18 and old enough, according to law, to make her own decisions. You sure didn't give this kind of coverage when Thurmond played with Nancy!
Yes, this is newsworthy, a prosecutor used his job to get out of being arrested. Had it been you or me, we would've been wearing an orange jumpsuit. Once an officer gets out of the car, it's illegal to take off and leave, no matter who you are. It's a felony. It's not about the stripper, it's about the felony he committed. If he would've just stayed there, nothing would've happened to him. Where is the outrage that this man thought he was above the law, and he was a prosecutor? Where is the outrage that he evaded an officer, and used his position to get out of being arrested?
just ewww...
The outrage got elbowed out by the ewww factor. LOL
He has to be a Democrat. Otherwise the story would be that a REPUBLICAN is caught with a stripper.
we're in the bible belt , gotta be a republican
no democrats down south
Another southern politician sex scandal. Ho hum. Yawn ;)
Another story about a politician bonking another taxpayer...doesn't this happen everyday?
Fired..why?
"Corning is an assistant deputy attorney general and deputy securities commissioner with the S.C. Attorney General's Office.
He is a former state lawmaker from northeast Richland County and has been active in the state's Republican Party.
He was elected in 1986 to the S.C. House of Representatives from District 79. He chose not to run again in 1994 and was appointed by the Legislature to the state Workers' Compensation Commission.
From there, he went to the state attorney general's office.
Corning is perhaps best known in the House for his work on anti-abortion initiatives." The State
It was.nt a problem for "slick willie " now was it .... Mind your own business .,.. They're both of age ... As disgusting as a 66 year old and an 18 Year old woman is ... He's not breaking the law ... So what if he's a former politician ? What do YOU do behind closed doors ?
what's this with naked people in cemeteries around here? two months or so ago, a couple found in the appling cemetary 'sunbathing' (yeah, right, nice euphemism for making like the two-backed beast) and now a legislater in S.C.. i never thought of a cemetary as a place for l'adventures de l'amour, but i guess it would add a little freaky, funky element into the mix. also, very cheap!!!! why pay for a motel when the floozy will do it in front of a gravestone? plus, lots of cemeteries around so that they never have to get bored looking at the same old names and dates everytime they want a little nooky.
Anyone believe this wasn't prostitution?
66 yr old man w/ 18 year old girl: hmmmmmm, let me think. OF COURSE IT WAS PROSTITUTION. 18 yr old girls don't hang out with wrinkled old men unless a)it's their dad or a relative, or b)they're a hooker looking to make a fool out of an old fool.
