Former SC Lawmaker’s Son Busted Peeping … Again

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…

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.

UPDATE: Reporter Amy Wood of television station WSPA TV 7 (CBS – Greenville/ Spartanburg) has a post up confirming our original reporting and providing some additional details on the incident.  To read her story, click here.

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*…

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.

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.

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.
