Danbury man pleads guilty to sexual exploitation of a child

A Danbury man has pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child.  36-year old Wayne Marcell has been detained since his arrest on related state charges last June.  According to court documents, a 14-year-old female in Georgia met Robert Fyke, of Texas on the chat platform Kik.  He drove to her home and brought her back to Texas.  During that time, the minor victim began communicating with Marcell on video game and social media platforms.  Marcell paid an individual $2,000 to drive the minor victim from Texas to Illinois.  Marcell then drove from Connecticut to Illinois, picked up the minor victim, and brought her to his home in Danbury.  Marcell engaged in multiple illicit sexual acts with the minor victim, and took photos and videos of the sexual abuse. Sentencing has not yet been scheduled, but Marcell faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years and a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years.
