“It’s sickening to see a person take advantage of a child half her age and engage in a highly inappropriate and illegal relationship,” said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly. “These cases are never easy, and I commend our major case unit for their hard work to quickly make an arrest before she could continue her illegal behavior.”
Authorities reported that Sexton has been moved to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where she is currently detained on a bond of $25,000.
