MARYSVILLE MAN SENTENCED TO 12–13 YEARS FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL OFFENSES

A Marysville man has been sentenced to an indefinite prison term of 12 to 13 years after an investigation revealed his involvement in downloading and sharing child sexual abuse material.

Ashley M. Parker, 45, pleaded guilty to 17 counts of Pandering Obscenity Involving a Minor, felonies of the second degree in the Common Pleas Court. Following a pre-sentence investigation, Parker was sentenced to an indefinite prison term of 12 to 13 years.

This case began with a cyber-tip reported through the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Investigators traced online activity involving the upload and distribution of explicit material depicting young children back to the defendant at a Marysville residence. As the investigation expanded, additional cyber-tips and digital evidence confirmed ongoing conduct involving multiple files. Marysville Police executed search warrants to seize evidence at Parker's home.

The material in this case depicted the sexual abuse of very young children. These are not abstract offenses- they represent real victims, real abuse, and lasting trauma. Every image or video is a permanent record of that harm, and every download or share perpetuates it.

Law enforcement agencies are not passively waiting for these cases to surface. Through coordinated efforts with ICAC, NCMEC, and electronic service providers, investigators are proactively identifying individuals who possess, distribute, or attempt to access this material. Digital footprints including IP addresses, account data, and device identifiers are routinely traced back to offenders.

Those who download or share child sexual abuse material will be found. There is no anonymity in these offenses, and there is no tolerance for the exploitation of children.

This sentence reflects both the seriousness of the conduct and the ongoing commitment of law enforcement to protect children and hold offenders accountable. The work of the Marysville Police Department and ICAC investigators was critical in bringing this case forward and stopping further victimization.

We want to thank the St. John’s Ladies Aid for having us out to present at their recent meeting. What started as a 15 minute presentation turned into an hour long conversation about the cycle of human trafficking, our current survivors, needs and the goals for the future. It was a blessing to be able to converse with them.

If you are part of a group that would be interested in having us speak please let us know. We’ve been able to speak to a few church congregations and their boards, but also men’s and women’s small groups, other non profit or community groups and businesses. While our survivors are always our top focus, our second main focus this year is awareness and it starts with speaking with small groups of people frequently.

Contact [email protected] to set up a meeting.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Human Trafficking is that it looks like kidnapping, chains, and force. While this might be true for some cases, the majority of the time it is built on trust. A trafficker is usually a friend, partner, or in some cases a family member. Psychological tactics are then used to trick, manipulate, or coerce.
It can happen to anyone.

If you or someone you know is experiencing human trafficking, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline:
1-888-373-7888

🏈 Super Bowl Sunday & a Hard Truth We Can’t Ignore ✝️

As millions gather to celebrate football, food, and fellowship, there’s another reality happening quietly in the shadows — human trafficking doesn’t pause for major events.

The Super Bowl doesn’t create trafficking — but large events create opportunity.

Here’s how victims are often trafficked around major events like this:

• Increased travel and packed hotels make it easier for traffickers to move victims without raising suspicion
• Victims are transported city to city, often coerced or controlled through fear, debt, or manipulation
• Many are recruited long before the event — promised love, work, safety, or stability — then exploited when crowds provide anonymity
• Demand increases in high-traffic areas, and traffickers exploit that demand at the expense of human lives

The truth:
Human trafficking affects tens of millions of people worldwide, many right here in our own communities. Most victims are women and children, but no demographic is immune. This is modern-day slavery — and it thrives in silence.

As people of faith, we cannot look away.
Scripture calls us to “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves” (Proverbs 31:8). Awareness is not fear-based — it’s love in action.

What you can do:
• Pray — for victims, survivors, and those working to intervene
• Learn the signs: lack of freedom, fear, someone speaking for them, no control over ID or money
• If something feels off, report it: National Human Trafficking Hotline 1-888-373-7888

We can cheer for our teams and stand for truth.
We can enjoy the game and protect the vulnerable.
Because every person is made in the image of God — and worth fighting for.
