A Berkeley County jury convicted Denise Rogers, 52, of Moncks Corner, S.C., of first-degree harassment on March 19, 2026, sentencing her to a suspended 90-day term reduced to one weekend in jail plus two years probation and a permanent restraining order.
Case Background
Prosecutors highlighted Rogers’ persistent targeting of a victim and his wife, including surveillance of his workplace over 10 days in 2023 without justification, even while on bond for prior harassment charges in Orangeburg County against the same couple. She admitted during a Hanahan Police interview to repeated visits, and digital evidence plus witness testimony from officers and the victim supported the claims.
Sentencing and Impact
Judge Roger Young Sr. imposed the penalties through the Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s Office, emphasizing the offense’s gravity amid a pattern that included two prior second-degree harassment convictions. Special Assistant Solicitor Olivia Lynch noted the jury’s recognition of the victim’s documentation efforts, underscoring how such cases often tie into domestic issues and carry risks of further penalties for violations.
