SAYRE, Pa. (WETM) – A Sayre man has been sentenced to serve at least 98 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to meth and rape related charges in March of 2025.
Sean R. Hall, 45, was sentenced on Thursday, June 19, to a minimum of 98 years to a maximum of 206 years in prison, a combination of sentences for two separate crimes he committed, after he pleaded guilty to 21 felony charges, including:
Four counts of operating a methamphetamine lab
Six counts of raping a substantially impaired person after administering drugs without the victim’s knowledge
Six counts of rape by forcible compulsion
One count of rape of an unconscious person
Three counts of criminal attempt/rape by forcible compulsion
One count of criminal attempt/rape of an unconscious person
Hall's sentence reflects the combination of the two crimes with the sentences for the drug crimes running concurrently and the sentences for the rape crimes running consecutively.
As stated in previous reports, Hall was arrested in April of 2024 for making meth at his Linden Street home in Sayre after investigators recovered a meth lab with a large number of materials and substances to make meth while searching his home on a warrant.
While investigating Hall's home for suspected meth, investigators found numerous devices and SD cards that depicted sexual assaults he committed over a several year span. After being granted a warrant to search the devices, investigators recovered hundreds of hours of sexually explicit content involving Hall and 17 victims. Hall was then arrested and presented with the charges for these crimes on Nov. 22, 2024.

During Hall's trial on Thursday, the court heard statements from several people involved with the case, including law enforcement who had to review the footage found in Hall's home, two of Hall's victims and Hall himself.
Overall, the statements given by law enforcement and Hall's victims depicted Hall as a monster who wanted his victims to fear him.
In his statement to the court, Hall expressed apologies to both his families and his victims for the crimes that he committed.
