PADUCAH, Ky – During his first court appearance Wednesday morning, 44-year-old Michael Parsons kept quiet. He’s charged with two counts of rape and 22 counts of electronic solicitation of a minor for sex.
“Very explicit sexual acts that were recorded and sent to the victim,” McCracken County Sheriff Jon Hayden said of Parsons alleged behavior.
Sheriff Hayden said Parsons told detectives everything Tuesday night – including admitting to sending pornographic images of himself starting in 2013 to a then 16 year-old girl he met while he was youth pastor at Milburn Chapel in West Paducah.
“In the course of this investigation this far, (we) have already recovered in excess of 22 videos and photos,” Sheriff Hayden said.
