On January 25, 2023, Peter Strickland pled guilty as charged to 26 felony counts and was sentenced to 25 years in Florida State Prison followed by 15 years of sex offender probation. He will also be designated a sex offender. The charges from the three different cases Strickland was sentenced to prison for include one count of Unlawful Sexual Activity with a Minor, four counts of Lewd or Lascivious Battery Sex Act 12 YOA but less than 16 YOA, 16 counts of Possession or Promotion of Certain Images of Child Pornography and five counts of Sexual Activities Involving Animals. “I’m thankful that our detectives and the State Attorney’s Office could bring this case to a close, especially during Human Trafficking Awareness Month,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “This pervert will spend the next 25 years in prison where he can’t prey on any more young children.
