An ex-Mountain Home, Idaho police officer will spend at least four years in prison after pleading guilty to sex abuse charges involving two girls, one 14 and the other 16 years old.
Glenn Arden Parsons, 25, will serve at least that long behind bars after a 4th District Court judge handed down a maximum 15-year prison sentence.
Parsons worked briefly in 2007 for the Mountain Home Police Department, as well as a short stint as an Elmore County court security officer after that.
Authorities began an investigation after receiving a report from the 16-year-old girl. The mother of the 14-year-old girl later showed detectives sexually explicit text messages sent from Parson’s phone to her daughter’s phone. (AP)
