“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 arrest before she could continue her illegal behavior.”
