The backstory

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said it received a report of a delayed sexual offense involving Sexton on Jan. 14.

Timeline

Deputies said they conducted interviews and analyzed text message conversations between Sexton and the child.

Detectives determined Sexton had used her relationship to take advantage of the child when the child was visiting Sexton for the holiday in December. Officials said these actions included kissing, attempted oral sex and sexual intercourse.

Reports show Sexton continued her contact with the child through text messages on numerous occasions over a period of several weeks after the child returned home in January. Records show Sexton even told the child she was intending to leave her husband for him.

What they’re saying

When Sexton was interviewed, officials said she initially denied engaging in any sexual activity with the child.

However, detectives said she later admitted they had engaged in sexual activity. She also admitted to participating in the text conversations with the child, deputies stated.

“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.”

What’s next

Sheriffs said Sexton was transferred to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where she is being held on a $25,000 bond.
