LANCASTER, Pa. — A Lancaster County man will spend up to eight years in prison after an undercover human trafficking investigation. 

Sean Deemer, 55, from Lititz, was sentenced to four to eight years in prison followed by five years of probation after admitting guilt to charges on two dockets. 

Deemer pleaded guilty to three counts of unlawful contact with a minor on each docket. 

He was charged in Lancaster after allegedly texting sexually explicit messages to an undercover Lancaster City Police officer who was posing as a 12-year-old girl on April 27, according to a criminal complaint affidavit.

The Lancaster County Human Trafficking Task Force was already investigating Deemer for exchanging similar communications with an undercover Lititz Borough Police officer posing as an 11-year-old girl, according to authorities. 

According to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office, Deemer requested and sent multiple explicit and lewd messages and photos to who he believed were underage girls.
