CHARLESTON, S.C. — State investigators filed sexually related warrants Wednesday against three Charleston County men, and the local solicitor office that covers the Lowcountry peninsula will take the prosecutions from here.

Osborne, listed as 46, was accused of a top-level assault-and-battery count plus a pair of third-degree criminal sexual conduct counts. Bryant, 53, faces a single voyeurism count. Bowman, 46, faces voyeurism along with obstruction of justice and a count for putting a sexual-assault victim name into public view.

Full names on the warrants are John Douglas Osborne, Brendan Patrick Bryant and Eric Bernard Bowman. Jail intake put all three at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center after the Wednesday roundup.

They were in Charleston County bond court the same day. Jail clerks later said each man had posted bail and walked out by early afternoon.

SLED announced the filings in a statewide update. Prosecution sits with the 9th Circuit Solicitor Office, the office that tries felony cases for Charleston and Berkeley counties under the statewide circuit map.
