Stop airing you dirty laundry on the computer fussing back and forward with each other Grown ups need to grow up you all have more problems than a math book. Let justice be done God knows what went on and he is the judge over the judge. Judge not and you shall be judged.

I have also known RP a very long time, and would like to say. The badge ruled him. He thought he could say and do anything to anyone since he became a deputy. He was nothing more than a shy man until he became involved with the law. I think this happening is going to bring a lot more things to the table about him. I have seen him in the last 2 years, threaten ppl with that badge, and run his smart mouth to no end. When I for one thought he was a nice person until a few years ago. Yes, she may have been wrong in some of the things she has done but I for one watched him threaten ppl with his job. those of you taking up for him, I guess you are, for one thing he kept 2 of you out of jail on minor charges many nights. He was called out to a friend of mines home a year ago and because he was friends with the man who had beat her. He did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Also how many deputies have a sound system worth over 2 grand in the trunk of there patrol cars. Yes he did. I have seen so many women riding in that car that it is pathetic. I also know from sources at the sheriff’s office that other deputies who really liked and loved the jobs they had requested not to ride with him, and not to be assigned duty with him due to his womanizing. He is verbally abusive to many women and I think this is all about to come out. I know she is not all right in all of this but she was right in calling the law for finally standing up to his abuse, this was not the first time. I think the sheriff is fully aware now of how much damage he really has done to women in this county with his threats, so her standing up has caused a chain reaction of women to want to go report other schemes he has been involved in. I really don’t care how many pals don’t like what I have said, because it is finally time for those badges to be worn with pride and not have scum like him on the other side of it. He went from a good guy to a bad guy all in a few years. And btw the house you all say is his. Well he wanted her there, he moved her in. He took her money at bill time.

First of all the reason her stuff was in the yard was because she had already packed her dishes up and brought them to my house to keep. He already knew she was leaving so he helped her out by putting the rest of the stuff in the yard, which goes to show how lousy of a person he is to put innocent kids stuff in the yard to get messed up, not to mention the only pictures of her daddy that anyone has left. Which, by the way, is against the law, because that is her place of residence as well. But he sure didn't bother to put the washer or dryer in the yard, and it's probably because he doesn't have one! Number 2, the "scratch or two" comments need to stop because it was more than that! I've seen the bruises and cuts on her legs from him kicking her, and the scratches as well as the hand print around her throat. I don't understand, I've been in a relationship where I was abused, and I would NEVER EVER EVER judge another person, or put them down for coming foward. ABUSE IS ABUSE! I don't care if there were or weren't marks, a man should never put his hands on a woman. For Miss Tracie, sweetie- don't bet your life on something that's false because someone would def be planning your funeral soon!! And I'm so sorry you never got the pleasure of him hitting on you! That makes you a lucky woman, but don't critize someone else simply because you want him back. It simply makes you look desperate and childish, since we all know what he said about you when he was with Vickie. What else can I say but God please bless the ignorant people in this town.

I believe that charges should be brought against Deputy Robert Paul Grimsley for Adultery and Fornication (SECTION 16-15-60). The State of South Carolina can then subpoena all this ladies who have had a relationship with him. Then under oath they can testify if they (the ladies and Deputy Grimsley) have violated these laws. It appears, from these posts, that Deputy Grimsley lacks morals and family values. Unfortunately he has/had arrested people for violating the law, but it appears he was violating it almost daily.

We will have to wait and see if he is guilty of violating this law (criminal domestic violence).

SECTION 16-15-60. Adultery or fornication.

Any man or woman who shall be guilty of the crime of adultery or fornication shall be liable to indictment and, on conviction, shall be severally punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year or by both fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court.

SECTION 16-15-70. "Adultery" defined.

"Adultery" is the living together and carnal intercourse with each other or habitual carnal intercourse with each other without living together of a man and woman when either is lawfully married to some other person.

SECTION 16-15-80. "Fornication" defined.

"Fornication" is the living together and carnal intercourse with each other or habitual carnal intercourse with each other without living together of a man and woman, both being unmarried.

So, obviously this behavior is a practice within respected professions. I have known cases exactly like this. Man in uniform, got to have lots of women and flirting and tantalization. When do they find time to actually work? Nothing is ever good enough or simply enough. Well he got it didn't he? So some of you think she deserved what she got and he didn't do anything. This is why men like him are still on the force or walking around free while the victims hide in fear. Obviously from one unashamed post the man wasn't without a woman though he had one living with him. Sounds like a lot of sharing going on.
Keep on letting abusive men walk with their tales of the woman made me do it or she lied, I didn't touch her. I know a woman who has a cigarette burn mark on her spine. Her cop man told her after she was branded it was marking her a cop's woman. He would throw belongings out like garbage, even things he bought, it was always a game to tear down and keep his woman where he wanted her, more in fear and intimidation. Same woman has nail marks where he dug his nails into her years ago. He didn't have much nails either. He liked to claw, because no one would believe a man claws a woman. Just as one of you stated. You are right, bruises don't usually show immediately. Reason why many abusers are not the only ones who sit in jail but their victimized person too. HOW SAD!!! I found myself in much the same sounding situation as this woman. How any woman who has been abused can dare say they think this woman is lying because of this or that, you aren't right. Abusers keep on abusing and learn more and more how not to get caught and leave it on the victimized. So much damage being done in this world by bullies, that's all they are. good luck to you all who tout these men as paragons of virtue, they are not. Good luck to the victimized, do not let him worm his way back into your life, no matter what he may say. Good luck to all involved with this charmer.

Let me tell you Jason, who ever you are. Yes me and RP had a bad breakup because of Vicki and we both said alot of mean things because we were mad. We are both human and everyone makes mistakes. But let me tell you I lived with RP for over a year and I have known him since we were kids. I have never feared that he would raise a hand to me and I know he never would. He has always made sure I was ok and if I have ever needed anything he has ALWAYS been there for me. I forgave him a long time ago for cheating with Vicki and no it was not all his fault. I would be willing to bet my life on this he did not do it. I have read the report and I have seen the pictures with my own eyes and I made my own opinion. Its my right to make my own opinion. RP has no fingernails and he could not have scratched her period. And bruises do not form in a few minutes I have medical training and I know that for a fact. I also read a text message she sent to him that she would have the last laugh. So you dont know either. I have lived with him and you truly know someone when you live with them. I know him and I know he has not done this. What you people don't realize is RP has a daughter that all of this talk is hurting her alot. So keep your mouth shut enough is enough. He will have his day in court. And to everyone who has posted comments supporting him he thanks all of you. I have let him read them all. To "we love u RP" He sd he owes you a big kiss because you hit the nail on the head. I will say again he is not perfect by no means but I will stand beside him and back him on this one till the end. I believe him and always will believe him he is no abuser and never will be.

The victim and the suspect both deserve each other. Maybe Dillon county needs to hire him at the 911 office, since he stayed up there all the time resulting in her marriage being broken up. Abuse is not okay and he should have to pay for what he has done but everyone forwarned her of what kind of trash she was dealing with. However, we are all human; the grass always appears to be greener on the other side. He was fired from South of the Border and Latta Police Dept., so this character really reflects on what type of person he really is.

Noone knows the complete truth but the two people who were involved. And hun you weren't there 24/7 either. No, abuse is not a laughing matter. I can say whatever opinions I have same as everyone else does. I am not straddeling the line. I am not saying she is wrong for coming forward. I am saying it is kind of hard for a man to unscrew a board from in front of the door in order to let himself out, because he was trying to keep her from coming in that same night, in order to get outside to abuse her. When he didn't want to see her, that is why her belongings were outside, because she wouldn't in the past weeks leave his house willingly. It doesn't make sense. Although in this matter, there was no sighn of physical abuse besides a scrath or two. If he did do this, than that is abuse. I didn't say a scratch wasn't abuse, but let me clarify myself over 98% of abuse towards women from men, result in more than a scrath. This is fact. I already stated that anyone guilty of abuse should be charged. In this situation there are too many "ify" statements and accusations made. Anyone who suffers abuse should come forward. I never said they shouldn't. It is usually apparent to others abuse is happening even before victims become public dealing with the abuse. To Jason, my case has already been handeled, and I know what the truth was, and so does everyone else. So you not believeing me, doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother her if she knows the truth. Mine was very apparent, and his character reflected his actions. Unlike this case; Thank you! I have no and havn't had any personal dealings with Mr. Grimsley if anyone was saying that to apply to me. I do know him and situations dealing with this case. I only asked for Dillon or sled or whoever to do their job in analyzing both characters. God does know the truth and if God willing the truth will eventually be told. I'll pray for it!

The comments about she had moved back and forth so many times this year and if he was abusing her why didn't she stay away??? Well, who are you to judge? Where you there each and everyday...don't think so? So, unless you were her (the victim) in this situation of abuse than you don't know what you would've done. So remember this the next time you are so quick to judge someone else. And, the comment about, "I will get the last laugh", number one ABUSE is NOT a laughing matter...so shame on you Jane Doe.
You know, Julia...you're right, sometimes (although rarely so) some people are falsely accused of a crime. But, what you need to understand is the difference in YOUR opinion and facts. Facts are bruises, broken hands, etc.. You do not necessary have to have black eyes to be considered a victim. For your information, a "scratch or two" (that you stated) done out of malice is abuse. Regardless of the predicaments, there is no right for abuse. Unless, you were there in that home 24/7, then keep your "opinions" to yourself.
Doesn't matter HOW or WHY someone gets involved in a relationship, there is NO tolerance for abuse. Act of Violence is WRONG AND UNJUST. Doesn't matter who you are, you should be punished for such crime. Do we really want someone that commits such a crime, working or pertending to serve and protect our community....I know I don't?
Last but not least..."Love you RP" and you know who you are....you're right...what goes around comes around. But for his sake, I hope what he did to an innocent woman...does not come back around. If so, he then would realize how humiliating being a victim of violence would feel. You state that you hear she is by NO means an angel and that maybe she needs to adjust her halo...well at least she has a halo, can't say the same about you...someone that would take up for an abuser, rather than support the victim.
We have two things here....he failed the polygraph test and most importantly, GOD knows the truth and I pray that justice be done to the "so called deputy"!

Thank God that this innocent victim finally came forward. How many other innocent women has this low down dirty monster abused? Does it make all of you feel happy within to write such trash about this young woman. Are you among the many women that this former law enforcement officer has had some flings with, or you owe him for a favor? If so where are your moral values? I understand that he took a polygraph test this week and failed what else does he have to do? I have spoken with Tracy Hamilton numerous times and she has talked nothing but trash about this predator. And you Mrs. Bailey u stated that the same thing happened to you,did it really or were you lying? Doesnt feel good does it? We can say innocent until proven guilty but in my case he should have been fired many years ago. His job WAS to supposedly protect and serve and get by in Dillon county with some awful things. Everybody in Dillon County knows what kind of emotional manipulator and predator we Were dealing with. So for all of the many woman that are siding with this predator.........Stop and think if this were your child, daughter or any relative in your family how would you feel? So to the victim once again...........JOB WELL DONE!!!!!!

And remember......God knows the truth and so does that emotional and vindictive predator! He lied but the polygraph was true. To the victim maybe by you coming forward you have saved someone else from this menatl, physical and emotional abuse.

Its a shame that a public officer has to stoop to such lengths as to abuse his girlfriend. When a person abuses another, whether it be mental or physical or verbal, that just shows the insecurities of that person. They do not need to be in public service of any means. I am grateful that this Deputy Sheriff has been taken off the streets. Maybe we all can sleep better tonight. Good Luck to the girlfriend and I wish her the best because she didn't deserve this.

She had moved out of RP home SO many times this year and kept going back ...so if he was abusing her why didnt she stay away??? She had her chance then....Sounds to me like a case of " I will get the last laugh "....I will support RP 110%...I hope the truth comes to light!!!!

I fully understand that many people should be accused for crimes they commit and should be penalized to the degree that the law decides. Although, I know some people are falsely accused. Many people of this county should understand as a deputy, Grimsley has done an excellent job. People have their flaws and have some characteristics that are not approved of by many. To a crime there are two sides to every story and you have to know both sides and be open minded to both of the opinions. The truth is the eveidence. A picture with a scratch or two doesn't tell the truth. A skin cell test, black eyes, and broken bones do. I am under the understanding that this victim has none of the above. Being a victim of violence in previous years, I understand the degree and hurt it can cause. I also understand how frequent it occurs and to the different degree of the abuse. Anyone who commits this crime should be punished. Those who are accused of it should first be made sure they are GUILTY. A false accuser will be wrong in the eyes of the community, their family, and friends. I would be unhappy if this turns out to be a false accusation. There should be a complete analysis of both characters and their predicaments they were in when this happened. Already steps have not been made that could clear this matter up. I hope as a citizen of this county, that both sides are known and judged fairly. A woman or man can say anything to get one accused of a crime. The real truth is the one who actually committed the crime. One can't falsely accuse and cause injustice on someone because of mistrust, unhappiness, or for retribution. I write this to Dillon county be just, be cautious, and to analyze both characters. I can't understand a motive, when their relationship was coming to an end. It is known in this county that she sacrificed her family for this man, who has now, after almost two years, is now accused of a committing a first act of violence upon on her. I know after analyzing many abuse situations, it occurs frequently not just one time and with bruises and broken bones, very rarely just a scratch. Men usually hit not scratch. I wonder what I would do if a man wanted out of a relationship, that I gave up everything for.

Yes there are a lot of vindictive people in the world and what goes around comes around. If this has been going on for over a year please tell us why she was still staying with him after he had tried to get her to leave. Speaking of morals what kind of woman walks off and leaves her (2)children and she knew that he was married and so was she. Who else has she been seeing. I hear that she is by NO means an angel maybe she needs to adjust her halo before she tries to get back at him.

Yea, I agree, you are right. You shouldn't believe everything you hear BUT you can't fake bruises and broken hands that were caused by him. Not to mention he failed a polygraph test today in Columbia. This has been going on for more than a year. He deserves to lose his job, his title, and his "good" reputation. He knew the law better than people on the street so there is absolutely no excuse for what he did. He's arrested people for less than what he's put her through. Any man that would treat a woman the way he has is a coward! Just because he has, or HAD a badge doesn't mean he should get away with breaking the law. Oh and what kind of morals does he have to live with a woman and still married to another for the last two years. Dillon County deserves to be protected by someone with better ethics, and values. SO yea what goes around, comes around and it's his turn!

If it aint the cops its the sheriff's what is next. These are the people that suspose to be on there best behavior & they are going to there own calls. He must of got mad cause the woman turned him down for what they love to do best sexual harrasement.lol

Don't believe everything you hear. There are some vindictive people in this world that need to realize that what comes around goes around.
