SOUTH CAROLINA LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 2, 2010
ARREST WARRANTS ISSUED FOR ANDERSON COUNTY MAN ACCUSED OF “ROBO-CALLS”
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has obtained arrest warrants for an Anderson County man accused of making illegal political calls involving six House District races in South Carolina.
The arrest warrants for Six (6) Counts of Automatically Dialed Announcing Device Violations are for 41-year-old Robert Charles Cahaly, of 112 Shannon Drive, Pendleton, S.C.
Cahaly is accused of paying for and disseminating automated telephone calls (“Robo-Calls”) from an Automatically Dialed Answering Device (ADAD) on September 23, 2010.
These calls were political in nature and were allegedly made to potential South Carolina voters without properly disclosing the identity of the originating party to the call recipients, which is in violation of SC Code 16-17-446.
SLED has determined that these illegal calls were made through a Richland County landline telephone number owned by Gadsden and Greene Strategies which is also owned by Cahaly.
The calls were allegedly made to numerous voters in House Districts 26 (Greenville and Pickens), 78 (Richland County), 79 (Kershaw and Richland Counties), 98 (Dorchester County), 108 (Charleston and Georgetown Counties) and 115 (James Island and Folly Beach).
