PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — More information has come out about the disgraced parole officer sentenced for sexually assaulting a female officer.
Anthony _______, 44, worked for the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation as a parole officer in Parkersburg. He admitted to forcing at least two victims into performing sex acts on him, this according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia Will Thompson.
Thompson spoke more to the details of the case and the sentencing while on MetroNews “Talkline” Friday.
“He essentially used his authority as parole officer to extort sex from at least one victim, and I believe we have a second victim.” Thompson said.
The attorney said these incidents happened more than once and they know about one occurrence that happened sometime in the middle of April two years ago.
“We are aware of at least five or six different instances,” he said. “That’s pretty shocking.”
Thompson also believes there may be more victims that come forward.
While in federal court in the Southern District of West Virginia Thursday, _______ was sentenced to 15 years, with five years of supervised release. He also has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
😲😳 Shocked. Shocked, I say. 🤨🙄
Haaaaa hahahahahaaaa… I think I just peed myself a little laughing so hard… They all try to act all high and mighty, like they are better than us and look at us as scum, and yet, a lot of them are just as bad if not worse than us. Using your position to force someone is pretty messed up.
I thought the sex offender registry was supposed to prevent things like this.
