Still more bad news for Dems in South Carolina: it turns out that Alvin Greene, the no-name candidate who somehow sailed to victory Tuesday to challenge Republican Sen. Jim DeMint in the fall, was charged late last year with showing obscene pictures to a college student, the AP reports.

Greene, an unemployed veteran and political newcomer, posted bond after his arrest in November; the charges are pending.

The AP reports:

Court records show 32-year-old Alvin Greene was arrested in November and charged with showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student.

Records indicate Greene showed photos to a woman and talked about going to her room at a university dorm.

ABC reports the charge is “disseminating, procurring or promoting obsenity.”
