Paul Henry Parker Jr. was jailed for DUI on Feb. 7, violating his prison parole, but those in charge didn’t contest his release the next day.
Saturday, nearly two weeks since his release on an own-recognizance bond from the Saline County Jail, Parker, 46, was arrested for allegedly raping an elderly woman in a Salina Regional Health Center patient room.
He was charged Tuesday morning in Saline County District Court with two counts of rape, one count of rape when consent was obtained by misrepresenting that sexual intercourse was medically or therapeutically necessary; two counts of attempted rape, two counts of aggravated sexual battery and two counts of battery.
Parker’s bond was set at $500,000. He will be appointed a public defender during a hearing at 8:30 this morning, said Todd Heitschmidt, court administrator.
