WARREN — An Austintown man, already serving a federal sentence on child pornography charges, on Wednesday pleaded guilty in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court to a host of felony charges in a girl’s sexual assault in Liberty Township.

The child was 3 at the time of the late 2018 and early 2019 offenses.

Daniel Parker, 35, of Austintown, was sentenced to 35 years in state prison by Judge W. Wyatt McKay for his convictions on two counts of rape, three counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and one count of tampering with evidence.

Parker will serve the sentence concurrently with a 21-year federal term after he was found guilty of child pornography charges. Parker was brought back from a Tuscon, Arizona, prison to Trumbull County earlier this year to face the local charges.

His co-defendant Candis Wynn, 35, formerly of Lucretia Drive, Liberty, earlier this month was given a similar 35-year concurrent sentence by Judge Ronald J. Rice after pleading guilty to an 18-count indictment.

Parker was labeled a Tier 3 sexual offender which means once he is out of prison, he will have to register with the local sheriff’s office his address four times per year for the rest of his life.

Both Wynn and Parker were accused of having inappropriate sexual conduct with a child who was 3 at the time. The late 2018 and early 2019 offenses also included Wynn recording the acts and then sending these to Parker. The investigators found Wynn used her cellphone to create child pornography and distribute it.

Wynn and Parker were accused of trading images of child pornography via cellphones.

Assistant Prosecutor Gabriel Wildman said Parker’s plea was arrived at in consultation with the victim’s family.

The cases were investigated by the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local and federal prosecutors.

According to U.S. District Court records, the Trumbull sheriff’s office was contacted by an investigator of the Crimes Against Children Task Force in Cuyahoga County on Jan. 7, 2019, about her agency receiving a tip from Google about child pornography material being disseminated in the area. An investigation found files containing four digital images and three videos from a Google account belonging to Wynn.

The images depicted the sexual assault of a young girl, and a 44-second color video showed an adult male having sexual contact with the minor, according to a criminal complaint.

Investigators were able to determine the images were taken on Dec. 12, 2018, and were recorded on a cellphone.

Using a search warrant obtained by Liberty police Capt. Raymond Buhala, officials obtained a phone belonging to Wynn in which child pornography images were identified. There also were text messages that contained sexually explicit images and videos.

Parker’s plea Wednesday offset a jury trial that was expected to begin Oct. 14 in McKay’s court. Parker’s court-appointed attorney, Mary Ellen Ditchey, said she has no comment about the case.
