Philly Senior Citizen Gets 50 years In Prison For Attempted Sex Act With A Child
by Alex Lloyd Gross
Michael Flynn, 67,of Philadelphia will most probably die in the state prison system. He made contact with what he thought was a 14 year old child online. He engaged in chats with the child that were sexual in nature, according to Attorney General Michelle Henry. Instead in was an undercover agent with her office. This is not his first time doing this, Henry said in a statement.
Flynn engaged in the recent crimes just months after being paroled from decades in prison for sexual assaults of both children and adults in Philadelphia in the 1970s.. He was just sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison for the crimes of Attempted Sexual Assault of A Child, Corruption Of the Morals Of A Minor,
Flynn believed he was communicating online with a 14-year-old child and made arrangements to meet the “child” for sexual contact. The “child” was actually an undercover Special Agent with the Office of Attorney General’s Child Predator Section. He made arrangements to meet the 14 year old boy and he even offered to pay him $150.00 for sex acts, Henry said.
As Flynn arrived at the pre determined location, to meet the boy, he was met by undercover agents instead. “This sentence ensures a convicted predator will no longer have access to potential victims. My office remains committed to doing everything in our power to protect children from sexual predators.,”
Henry said.
