Forsyth County Attorney Jailed for Failure to Register as Sex Offender

Richard Parsons' legal troubles began with an arrest four years ago following a sting operation in New Jersey targeting adults allegedly seeking sex with minors online. He was convicted of a sexual offense related to enticing a minor. Upon returning to Forsyth County, he was required to register as a sex offender. The recent arrest stems from his failure to maintain proper registration, specifically not residing at the address he provided to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. This violation led to a warrant being issued and his subsequent arrest in Hall County. The Georgia Bar Association will likely review his case, potentially leading to disciplinary actions, including disbarment. His law firm's website is currently inactive, adding further uncertainty to his professional future.
