27-year-old jailed for historical child sexual abuse in Cirencester
Offences date back to 2013 when Connor Parsons was just 14
A man has been sentenced to four years in prison for sexual abuse crimes committed over a decade ago in Cirencester.
Connor Parsons, now 27, confessed to sexually abusing two six-year-old girls back in 2013, when he was 14 years old.
These offences included exposing himself and coercing one of the girls to perform sexual acts.
Further acts against a 13-year-old took place in 2019, when Parsons assaulted her in a wooded area after meeting at a park.
After both victims disclosed their experiences to school professionals in 2022, Gloucestershire Police were notified.
On 24th November 2025, Parsons pleaded guilty at Gloucester Crown Court to multiple charges, including inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity and sexual assault.
Judge Rupert Lowe acknowledged Parsons' troubled upbringing, but clarified that it did not excuse his criminal actions.
Parsons received a 10-year restraining order and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order to protect his victims.
The victims read statements in court, describing the significant impacts the abuse had on their lives.
Parsons' sentencing marks an end to a lengthy investigation. The officer involved in the case praised the victims for their bravery in coming forward.
Support is available for victims of sexual abuse through various resources provided by Gloucestershire Police and partner agencies.
