A Camden County Jury has found Henry Parker, a 71-year-old man from Pennsauken, guilty of multiple charges related to the explicit contact of two juvenile victims, as announced by Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay and Pennsauken Township Police Department Chief Philip Olivo.
On June 14, 2024, the jury convicted Parker of two counts of first-degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, five counts of second-degree explicit contact, four counts of second-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Minor, five counts of third-degree Aggravated Criminal explicit contact, and one count of Engaging or Soliciting Prostitution of a Minor. However, the jury acquitted Parker on three counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Minor and was unable to reach a verdict on three additional counts.
The victims testified that the sexual assaults were ongoing and took place at Parker’s home in Pennsauken, New Jersey, from October 2009 until they reported the crimes to police in January 2018.
Following the guilty verdict, Parker was taken into custody at the Camden County Correctional Facility and is scheduled for sentencing on August 23, 2024.
