Chattanooga man sentenced for sex trafficking children
Officials with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee say he will also have to do a 500 hour mental health program; plus he’ll be supervised for 5 years after his release from prison.
Farmer plead guilty in May.
He admitted to telling a minor and an adult co-defendant to meet a client at a Chattanooga hotel for sex, but the client turned out to be an undercover police officer.
Police also found another minor with Farmer when they arrested him.
The co-defendant will be sentenced next March.
Multiple agencies took part in this investigation including the FBI, Homeland Security, and Chattanooga Police.
FBI Special Agent in Charge, Edward W. Reinhold said “This investigation is but one example of the close working relationship the FBI enjoys with our law enforcement partners in combating the ever increasing threats to our nation. Human Trafficking represents some of the worst in human behavior, especially when it deals with the most vulnerable of our society, our children. The FBI, along with our local, state, and federal partners will continue to aggressively attack this problem.”
