A 27-year-old Pawleys Island woman said she has reason to believe her grandfather — a 65-year-old man — molested her 4-year-old daughter.

The woman said she was at her grandfather’s house earlier this month and her daughter — who was wearing pants — left the living room. She returned a while later and was not wearing pants.

When the woman asked her daughter about her pants, she said her grandfather told her to take them off.

The woman walked to her grandfather’s bedroom and saw him performing a lewd act on himself.

He stopped when he saw her walk in the room.

The woman said it is not the first time she has caught her grandfather committing such an act.

The woman also said she tried to give her daughter a kiss and the 4-year-old tried to kiss her in an adult manner.

When the woman asked her who taught her to do that, the girl said it was her grandfather.

The case is still being investigated.
