Man dubbed 'person you warn your kids about' gets 20 years for enticing kids on Facebook

A man one official described as "the person you warn your kids about" has been sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $10,000 after allegedly sending sexual messages to multiple preteen girls.
Duane Charles Parker, 52, of Lafayette, La., was sentenced Thursday by a Montgomery County jury that convicted him the day before, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter.
Parker was convicted on one count of attempted sexual performance of a child under 14, which is a second degree felony, and received the maximum punishment.
"A $10,000 fine on top of 20 years is relatively rare," said Assistant District Attorney Adam McLane, a prosecutor on the case with Monica Cooper. "It's our position that the jury was sending him a message that they would have given him more if they could."
