Cantonment Man Gets 25 Years For Sexual Battery Of Underage Girl
February 6, 2020
A Cantonment man was sentenced to state prison Wednesday for the sexual battery of an underage girl.
Adam Lee Bryant, 38, was sentenced by Escambia County Circuit Court Judge Jan Shackelford to 25 years in state prison followed by lifetime sexual offender probation.
Bryant entered a plea to one count of sexual battery on a victim under 12 while in the position of familial or custodial authority and one count of lewd or lascivious molestation on a victim under 12. Bryant was designated a sexual predator and will be required to register as a sexual predator and comply with all statutory requirements.
The charges stem from a September 2019 investigation conducted by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Gulf Coast Kid’s House.
Bryant called an adult female and confessed that he had inappropriate contact with the girl over a three year period and said he was ready to turn himself in and face his punishment, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.
Bryant was a truck driver who would be away from home for long periods of time. When not on the road, he would sometimes be home alone with the girl because she is homeschooled, the arrest report states.

The sentence is a joke, life without parole should be the only sentence other than death for these monsters. They can NOT be fixed, castration doesn’t work because the problem is in their brain and counseling is ineffective. Full and total lobotomy may help, but even afterwards they should never be allowed to be in society again.
The guy turned himself in knowing it’s a slow suicide suicide. I am wondering what was going on in his head?
Something he couldn’t handle and he decided to get killed by a court? But this is a slow death over the next many years.
If he couldn’t handle it, he could have put a bullet into his instead of 100% being slowly rotten to death in a prison.
Carlos,
Florida doesn’t have parole. He may qualify for gain time, which would mean he will serve 21 years, 3 months minimum. If he doesn’t, he will serve the entire 25 years.
I just don’t understand it. He threw his whole life away. He also probably has ruined the child’s childhood. I hope he has to spend the full twenty five years in prison with no parole.
