Pryor Man Sentenced To 35 Years For Sexually Abusing Children

A Pryor man was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for repeatedly sexually abusing two children he knew.

Prosecutors said Keith Parnell started abusing the victims when they were just five years old and it lasted for 10 years.

The investigation started in 2020 after one of the victims, who is now an adult, made a post on Facebook, giving details about the abuse.

Both victims testified at the trial and the jury found Parnell guilty of seven counts of sexually abusing minors.
