FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A Palm Coast man arrested last year in a human trafficking investigation was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Strickland was also sentenced to 15 years of sex offender probation after serving prison time and must register as a sex offender.
According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Strickland was arrested in July after investigators said he solicited sex from children as young as 13 by offering valuable items in exchange.
At his workplace, Palm Coast Utilities, Strickland admitted to deputies he had sex with the victims 15 times over a two-year period.
Additional charges were filed in September after detectives said multiple files of child pornography and sexual activity between people and animals were found on storage devices seized from Strickland’s home.
