Parson is charged with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, the officer said. 

Parson worked for nearly three decades as an officer for the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia. For many years he led the department’s LGBT Liaison Unit. 

He retired as a full-time MPD officer in February 2020. That year he told the Washington Blade, “I will remain with MPD as a part-time Reserve Officer serving at the pleasure of the Reserve Corp in whatever role I can best assist the agency I love.” 

The MPD told Fox News it fired Parson from its Reserve Corps upon learning of his arrest early Sunday morning.
