According to court documents, between March 2018 and February 2019, Farrelly recruited, enticed and solicited a 16-year-old child to engage in commercial sex acts by texting the victim, sending her pictures of money and providing her with alcohol or marijuana.
Prosecutors said Farrelly paid the child victim $30 to $40 each time that they engaged in sex. During several recorded phone calls between Farrelly and the victim, Farrelly admitted to having intercourse with the victim and stated that he was worried the calls were being recorded and he was going to go to jail.
