MORE TROUBLE FOR KEVIN PARKER …
A little over four years ago, this website reported on the disposition of a series of indecent exposure, assault and burglary charges involving Kevin Parker, son of former S.C. Rep. Steve Parker.
Remember that story? If not, here’s a refresher …
What troubled us most wasn’t just Parker’s escalating perversions (in one incident he was caught exposing himself and masturbating in front of female students – in another series of incidents he actually stalked them, broke into their dorm rooms and touched them as they slept).
That’s sufficiently disturbing … but that’s not the real scandal as far as we’re concerned.
What truly troubled us was how Parker’s father repeatedly covered for his son – offering cockamamie excuses to the media for his behavior while also allegedly meddling in a Spartanburg County Sheriff’s office probe.
The former lawmaker was also integrally involved in keeping his son out of jail in 2012 – vowing to keep a better handle on him while getting him the treatment he needed. The court took him at his word – and the younger Parker got probation instead of prison time. Not only that, his name was kept off of the state’s sex offender registry.
Well guess what …
Parker, 32, was busted this week on two counts of voyeurism and one count of impersonating a police officer. His mug shot has been conveniently removed from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s website (looks like the old man still has connections), but booking records show he was released on his own recognizance related to the charges.
What happened?
Sources at the Spartanburg Sheriff’s department have confirmed to FITS that Parker allegedly placed a video recording device in a bathroom stall at Delaney’s Irish Pub on Morgan Square in downtown Spartanburg.
When a customer noticed the camera (allegedly disguised as a power outlet) and attempted to bring it to the attention of the pub manager, Parker reportedly presented a fake badge and grabbed the device on his way out of the door.
Police later arrested him with the badge and the video recording device on a street near the pub.
Local residents are irate. They’re not only mad Parker was on the streets, but they’re also livid that his politically connected father once again appears to be taking steps to shield his son from the consequences of his actions.
“This needs to stop,” one told us, adding that the younger Parker “has been exposing himself since 2006.”
We agree …
We understand this former lawmaker wants to protect his son, but the situation long ago passed the point of dangerous enabling. Parker clearly has a problem, and clearly needs help – not more coddling.
Also, shame on Spartanburg sheriff Chuck Wright and former S.C. attorney general Henry McMaster – both of whom had a chance to blow the whistle on this situation years ago and failed to do so.
To Wright’s credit, his men did arrest Parker when the evidence against him became impossible for them to ignore – and Wright did speak out against the light sentence Parker received from the court.
And what of Parker’s father?
After attempting to exonerate his son (claiming he was “peeing in the bushes” during one of his indecent exposure episodes), Steve Parker later blamed his son’s behavior on the impact of concussions he allegedly sustained during his high school athletic career.
“After the doctors explained some of the physical issues with concussions, it just verified our faith in our son,” he told The Spartanburg Herald Journal at the time.
Yeah … okay.
This charade needs to stop … now. Kevin Parker needs to be taken off the streets before someone gets hurt. And Steve Parker needs to realize that further enabling helps absolutely no one in this sad situation.

That’s next foor to Karen Floyd’s office, The Palladian Group. She’s connected with all of the Spartanburg politicos, used to be Chief Magistrate. She’s the only one on the payroll worth peeping on though.
I love the concussion thing. I’ve been hit on the head. A bunch (a combination of earlier career choices and my smart mouth). I’ve had several real-deal concussions, and many more relatively minor ones. I think maybe I’ll start wanking off in the street in downtown Dirty Myrtle and see how far my concussion story get *me*…
” I’ve been hit on the head…a bunch ” — Mike, is that your ‘big head’ or your ‘little head’? (heh)(heh)
Big head. Mostly. ;-)
In Boz’s ass?
Ah, the derp is strong in you, young Padawan…
…is that your ‘big head’ or your ‘little head’?
PRO TIP:
The correct answer is:
“They are both big.”
Ha! Good tactic, but I try not to brag. Especially of I have to lie. ;-)
You boys are so bad!
Will you alert the media on that, Mike? lol
Sure, but in MB that wouldn’t be big news. It would make some of my old political foes’ day, though, to be sure! ;-)
Can I meet ya?
Sounds like Kevin Parker, son of Representative Steve Parker, was trying to play Spider man and show them his Peter Parker.
Well played Sir!
Technically, is FITSNews not basically just a peeper? Sniffing out the feces in other peoples’ lives because you hate them politically? …and publishing it for people who are just as perverted and peeper-minded as you?
If you concentrated on politics, as you purport, you’d have to admit who, and what, you are. And that renders you unfit.
So, like all Democrats, you simply attack those you hate, to try to make them lower than you – and that almost never works, because you are the bottom.
Benghazi !
OK. Now I’m convinced you are GT, not pogo. pogo is not really capable of hewing that close to someone else’s style of trolling.
I think he is just so good at perfectly DEFINING you, there can be no mistaking.
Isn’t that what you are actually saying?
Not even close.
I hope you and your anal pal are still digging to find proof of me being on the sexual offenders list. That will be as fruitless a quest for you as trying to mine your nose for nuggets of pure gold.
See a pattern here… SC legilators, criminal behavior. Nothing new here except the public exposure for ridicule of the guilty parties. Good Ole South Carolina. Where Stupidness Flows. Or, is that Shitwater…
This is much like Jean Toal being let go on driving drunk through Shandon. The Columbia Police Department have let her go over and over. It’s a matter of time before she hurts somebody.

How’s he going to hurt someone? Hit them in the eye?

If they get hit in the forehead, they might get AIDS. Listen to Dave tell this story.
GT has Peter parking in the rear.
GrandTango sez:
“PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!!!”
This is a dangerous situation but the real problem exposed is the so called Criminal Justice System in America. It is a farce and when these politicians do things like this it damages the system and it is almost beyond repair. I policed for over 30 years and you always hear about the Blue Wall of Silence but the most dangerous wall is that of lawyers. They totally control the system from beginning to end.All of the Police Officers in America do not have 1/10 of 1 % of the power that a lawyer does and most of their’s is handled behind closed doors. Money and power has made every working class American a Slave. From the President,US Supreme Court on down American’s are subjugated to the lower rung of a Class System.
“Parker clearly has a problem, and clearly needs help – not more coddling.”
It may surprise you to learn that jail isn’t a place where most sexual deviants get help.
I agree he needs help- but the “how” part of that yields no easy answer, unless of course you think jail helps(and some do), which is certainly easy.
Well, it sure does not help him to have a politically connected father keeping him off the sex offenders registry, etc. Would being on the registry help him? No, not at all, but it is only fair and just that the public know what he has done, in case he moves in next door to them.
Fuck the deviant bastard,,….just cut off his pee-pee and what’s left of his balls……..then brand a “D” on his forehead for “Deviant” and let him go anywhere the miserable SOB wants to go……….
You sound like an expert on this shit?You on the list?
And not a peep about this on any of the three upstate news sites.
No surprise there.
And no surprise the PERVERTS, like you, have your noses up someone else’s Butt-Crack.
That’s the perfect place for you, and your also Speedo-clad super-sleuth, companion.
Let me guess. That guy is now not a pervert because he’s a Republican. Or has a Republican daddy. Of course, if he ever does end up on the national pervert list, you will retroactively assign both of them to the Dems.
As The Church Lady would say, “How conVEEENient!”
I’m just saying: You CHARGE EVERYBODY you hate as being judgmental…yet if there is ANYTHING Republican about an American…you Judge the Fuck out of them..
You simple-minded, hypocrite motherfucker.
That guy being the son of a Republican has nothing at all to do with the severity of what he has done, or the fact that his father’s political clout has gotten him off the hook, again and again. You choose to see it as political bias on my part, but it isn’t. I hate that shit when Dems do it to. Abuse of power is abuse of power, regardless of power. I’m not perfect, and maybe I am hypocritical in some ways, but not on this.
But you, you twisted creep, ONLY care about bad deeds done by Dems, and excuse all bad deeds done by GOPsters. That is the epitome of hypocrisy.
Welp, you cater to the rich, just association, MOTHERFUCKER. !
Americans starving w/ $5,000 less in median income, FT jobs cut to PT, and healthcare and energy costs…ARE NOT THE RICH, you idiot.
Obama has been a DISASTER to the working people of this country…
Full of shit idiot !
Don’t handle TRUTH well, do you?…Dumbasses, and you’re one of the biggest, usually don’t. (:
The perverts love those burlesque shows.
No, FITSNews has established itself as the No. 1 PEEPING TOM outlet in the state.
It’s a story, and a website MADE for each other..
What does fits news have to do with it ?
Why bother making up a new profile, if you say the same dumb shit, GrandTango?
So funny how you and Flip lose your shit and deflect Republican scum with your twisted logic. You sick fucks.
mugshot in all its glory

Nothing creep looking about that guy.
*creepy
He looks like Jeebus Cripes. He must be a Republican Christian.
So lesson learned, don’t put a fake wall outlet on the stall door.
Football concussions, or as it is commonly known, The Brett Farve Defense.
Aren’t Liberal-Tarians for EVERYTHING GOES…and we’re not suppose to Tell anyone how to “Get Off”. It it feels good do it…and we have no right to tell you not to.
How is it that you attack and hate us for not wanting to redefine marriage for your liberal special interest lobby…but you can castigate this person because he is related to a man who used to be a Republican (I’m guessing he’s an R.)
Pretty selective bunch of self-righteous Assholes, are you not?
He is a protected pervert, is he not ? 99 % of us would have gone to jail and be a registered sex offender. Selective and self righteous I think not. Nice spin though,
Barack Obama used the IRS to persecute Americans because they do not think in terms of ass-backward hatred, like him.
Is that legal? And if not, are you DEMANDING Jail for Obama…or will you continue to suck his dick, because you are a hypocrite, NAZI-Bastard Gestapo piece of shit?
So President Obama and the IRS told this pervert to plant the spy cam for anti – masturbation?
I think he’s saying you effeminate, fake little hand-wringers are shitting all yourselves over some kid who was related to a small-time former Republican…. while Hitler II is fucking the American people, and you’re sucking the guy’s dick.
So whales do breed chickens for offspring. Thanks for the info.
When is Sheriff Chuck Wright up for election?
Are the people in Spartanburg County making a list of his foul ups?
But, since when have voters in SC made a politician accountable for anything?
You’re always DEMANDING punishment based on your imaginary Boogey-men (See Global warming)…while you bury your head up the ass of ISIS, while they sever the heads of babies, because the child’s family has the audacity of hope, and are Christians…
You are not only an ignorant piece of shit, you are a low-down, dirty, un-compassionate bastard…
So the taker formerly known as Big T, Grand Tango, Flip, etc. etc. has a new ID. Is there anyway the people who got rid of him before can get rid of this certifiable nut again. It would be greatly appreciated. We are all sick and tired of listening to his incessant prattle.
Hate who, and what you are. And Big T reminded you of it..huh? Typical.
POS !!!
You are dang strait we hate who and what you are, you lazy low life taker. Get off your ass. Get a job. Stop sucking public benefits that honest, hard working Americans deserve.
No need to answer.
Eat it GT !!!
It’s like herpes. They say it will eventually go away but it will always come back, again, and again, and again, and…
Go away and let low life,gutter dwelling liars like try and destroy every good and decent American you disagree with?
Love watching you perverts squirm as the truth bites you in your sorry asses.
We know why you hang around Waffle Houses.
Sorry to disappoint you, but it’s not so you can nibble on my man thing.
No chance…
He’s the Spartanburg Tea Party’s fair haired boy even if he’s NOT fair-haired (= with his Arab features).
He’s a shoe in for the next election (even if “Rolling Thunder” was a semi-bust last week)………
I see Fits exposed ya?
I used to really like him, especially his support for good citizens being armed and dealing with violent criminals, something that has made news in his county more than once.
He did however, lose a good portion of my respect when he started bleating that crap about how the (less than the tip of the ice berg) stuff that Jimmy Metts was finally snagged on not being a reason to install term limits for Sheriffs.
“Chuckie” Wright has never seen a TV camera he didn’t love…………
Sadly, that seems to be the deal with most SC Sheriffs. One notable exception was Sheriff Herman Young when he was in office in Fairfield County. You rarely ever saw him in front of a camera.
I would like to see the tapes!
You get off on women wiping their ass?
Just spreding !
Maybe they were changing their tampons. Not all women do it in public like thic chick.

? Comments can’t be blank.
Well, what if I don’t have anything to say?
Thanks FITSNews for outing the BIGTIME important crimes. Woodward and Bernstein are proud, I’m sure.
You are a REAL Journalist…with a GREAT nose for news. (:
Come on now give fits a break. There are floods, water shortages, dams failures. He’s working under difficult conditions. Often a Peeping Tom will be overlooked under these conditions, but not Fitsnews. ?
Petty Crime, Petty Journalism
The past charges, 1st Degree Burglary carries 30 years in prison. Who was the judge in the old charges and who was the prosecutor? What did Probation and Parole’s PTI recommend? Obviously, favors were traded and maybe payoffs handed out, too.
The FILTHY Obama ROBOT who killed the officer in Forest Acres had charges against him, before he killed the man.
Who traded favors for him to be out, you dirty, Liberal, Lying, Cliche, myth-monger Bigot and combination piece of shit.
Republicans run this state dumdass !!!
Anybody else think this Parker Dude (the dad) likely voted against Sanford when he was in the General Assembly?
FITSNews exists to extract vengeance on Sanford’s enemies. Sanford is so small, it is just like him to be absorbed in hate against those he saw as enemies. I’m sure Sanford blames other people for the fact he is seen as such an ass-wipe by so many.
HILLARY NIGHTMARE: GENNIFER’S BACK!
Have you heard the INTERVIEW…Sucks to be you….LMAO….
looks like a pederass
And who was the judge that slapped him on the wrist 4 years ago and kept this perv on the street? Judge Alison Lee. Go figure.http://publicindex.sccourts.org/Spartanburg/PublicIndex/CaseDetails.aspx?County=42&CourtAgency=42001&Casenum=M123773&CaseType=C
This all got started when Tom the tailor peeked at Lady Godiva. If only Tom had minded his own business, Parker would be in the clear.;
I don’t care what his “excuse” is… the public needs to be protected from him. He should be registered as the sex offender that he most certainly is.
