Jacob Tyler Henriques, the former Assistant Admissions Director at Emmanuel College in Boston, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for soliciting underage college applicants for commercial sex and cyberstalking. The 27-year-old was arrested in May 2025 and pleaded guilty in November 2025 to one count of attempted sex trafficking of a minor and one count of cyberstalking. Henriques used his position to gain access to personal information of prospective students, who he then contacted to solicit for sex. The victims were between 12 and 18 years old.
The case was investigated by the FBI’s Child Exploitation – Human Trafficking Task Force, which works to identify and lock up predators like Henriques. According to the FBI, Henriques is a clear danger to the community and has earned every minute of his sentence. The agency urges adults to remind kids that not everyone is who they say they are online.
The United States Attorney’s Office said that Henriques’ actions were a betrayal of the trust placed in him as a college official. The office is dedicated to protecting the community from predators like Henriques and will continue to hold them accountable for their actions.
Hennriques’ sentence reflects the seriousness of his crimes and the need to protect the community from individuals who would exploit and harm vulnerable individuals. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need for adults to be aware of the potential dangers that exist online.
