A 26-year-old Palm Coast woman who deputies say had unwanted sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old was arrested on Monday, Jan. 27.
Deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff's Office received a report about a delayed sex offense involving Angel Sexton and the 13-year-old victim on Jan. 14, according to a press release. During the investigation, an FCSO detective conducted interviews and analyzed text messages between Sexton and the victim. The FCSO reports the victim was visiting Sexton in December for the holiday and states she used her relationship to "take advantage of the victim, engaging in activity that included kissing, attempted oral sex, and sexual intercourse," the press release states.
After the victim returned home in January, Sexton maintained contact through text messages, which included telling the victim she intended to leave her husband for him.
Sexton initially denied engaging in any sexual activity with the teen, however the FCSO reports she later admitted that they had engaged in sexual activity, including intercourse.
She was arrested for lewd and lascivious battery in St. Augustine, and later transferred to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where she is held on a $25,000 bond.
“It’s sickening to see a person take advantage of a child half her age and engage in a highly inappropriate and illegal relationship,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in the press release. “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.”
