SIGN UP “This defendant badly betrayed a child who trusted her, and now must be held to account for that exploitation,” said U.S. Attorney David Metcalf, in a statement on Farley's sentence. “Those who sexually abuse children cause lasting harm, an emotional toll that’s unfathomable. My office and the FBI are working aggressively every day to find and prosecute child predators, to keep them from hurting more innocent victims.”
As detailed in court documents, for about 18 months, beginning in October of 2017, Farley and her boyfriend -- who was not identified in a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office -- repeatedly sexually abused a child, who was 12 to 13 years old at the time.
Farley, court documents note, filmed and photographed her boyfriend sexually abusing the child and participated in the assaults.
