Greenville, SC – Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office have filed additional charges against 57-year-old Robert Voorhees, who was already in custody in connection with the murder of Janet Abrilz.
According to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Specialized Investigation Division, Voorhees is now facing multiple new charges, including Criminal Sexual Conduct in the 1st Degree, Kidnapping, and Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature. The updated charges stem from evidence that allegedly connects Voorhees to a separate sexual assault incident that occurred in 2022.
Authorities say the new findings emerged during an ongoing investigation into Abrilz’s murder. Detectives reportedly uncovered that Voorhees physically and sexually assaulted another victim during that earlier case.
In addition to the assault and kidnapping charges, Voorhees has been charged with Possession of a Weapon During a Violent Crime and Possession of a Weapon by a Person Convicted of Certain Crimes.
The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office has not released further details about the 2022 victim, citing the sensitivity of the case. Voorhees remains in custody as the investigation continues.
