Pinellas County Juvenile Detention Corporal now a Convicted Felon.



Parris Woods was a corporal at the Pinellas County Juvenile Detention Center and is now a convicted felon for sexually soliciting a young female teenager.

Gulfport Police said a school resource officer got the investigation started after the 14 year old female student reported that she had received text messages from a man who claimed he was employed at a local juvenile detention center where the teen has recently been taken.

It was a good thing that the school resource officer was just recently certified in cyber safety by the attorney generals cyber crime unit.

During the text messages it has been reported that Woods sent nude and obscene images of himself along with a request to meet in person so they could have sexual activities.

The girl (actually the police) said sure lets meet and once Woods arrived at the meeting place he found the Police waiting there for him and not the 14 year old girl. The victim said she had never met Woods and had just started to get the text messages from him.

Whatever happened to all of the dating web sites for a date?


Anyway, his actions have landed him 8 years in prison and once his sentence has been served he will have to register as a sex offender.

I have to wonder what people like this think. Obviously they are not thinking at all. But why would you think that just because you have access to her file at a juvenile detention center you would have the right to text her and send nude and obscene pictures to her. Not to mention working in a detention center and having the training from the academy, knowing the laws, knowing the risk of losing everything in your life for sexual fun with a minor.

Even though I don’t understand his actions at least he is where he belongs, behind bars for the next 8 years of his life as a sex offender.
