Bryan Anthony Parker pleaded no contest to these charges:

- promote sexual activity of victim less than 16 years old
His sexual assault charge was dropped.
Parker received nine days credit for time served. He also received two years of sex offender probation upon his prison release.
Deputies initially arrested Parker in August of 2024 on allegations that he sexually abused a boy.
According to the arrest report, an incident happened on July 3, 2024, as the victim was sleeping over at Parker’s home. The report states the victim awoke to Parker sexually abusing him.
The victim then secretly recorded video of Parker talking to him about the incident, according to the report.
The report states that on the video, Parker could be heard saying:
- “Can we act like this never happened, please?”
- “I will go to prison the rest of my life”
- “The whole thing was weird”
- “will never happen again”
The report states the victim also told deputies of a prior incident a few years ago where Parker tried to molest him.
Parker had been a volunteer coach at St. John the Evangelist School in Pensacola, according to the report.
