Escambia 17-Year Old Gets 30 Years For Sexual Battery

May 8, 2021

An Escambia County 17-year old has been sentenced to 30 years in state prison for sexual battery.

Eric Demond Parrish was convicted by an Escambia County jury of one count of sexual battery (force likely to cause serious bodily injury), one count of battery, and one count of false imprisonment. He was 16-years at the time of the offense and was tried as an adult.

On January 7, 2020, Parrish sexually battered the victim without her consent, according to the State Attorney’s Office. In the course of the sexual battery, he placed his hands around her neck. As the victim tried to leave the home, then Parrish grabbed her by her arms and clothes and attempted to drag her back into the home and prevent her from leaving.

Parrish faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.

    There are so many misconceptions about prison . It is hype and rumor for the most part. Rape in prison is very rare and most sexual conduct is consentual. Take it from someone who unfortunately has been there. He definitely got what he deserved and i hope he get some much needed help in prison.

    Good. He’ll be the bella of the ball in prison. He’ll get what he did to her while in prison.

    Glad they got him locked up early, likely just saved many more rape/assault victims.
