Florida Man Sentenced To 30 Years In Federal Prison For Sex Trafficking Of A Minor

United States District Judge Marcia Morales Howard has sentenced Sean Patrick Farrelly (49, Palm Coast) to 30 years in federal prison for sex trafficking a minor.

Farrelly was also ordered to serve a 10-year term of supervised release and to register as a sex offender. He has been in custody since his arrest on March 21, 2019. 

Farrelly had pleaded guilty on June 19, 2019.

According to court documents, between March 2018 and February 2019, Farrelly recruited, enticed, and solicited a 16-year-old child to engage in commercial sex acts, by texting the victim, sending her pictures of money, and providing her with alcohol or marijuana. Farrelly paid the child victim $30 to $40 each time that they engaged in sexual intercourse.

During several recorded phone calls between Farrelly and the victim, Farrelly admitted to having sexual intercourse with the victim and stated that he was worried the calls were being recorded and he was going to go to jail.

This case was investigated by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ashley Washington.

It is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
