Alicia Parkes, a former sheriff's deputy in Georgia, was sentenced to 12 months of probation after pleading guilty to eavesdropping on a conversation between two other deputies. Parkes was accused of installing a listening device in the office of then-Sheriff Kem Kimbrough in order to record a conversation between Kimbrough and another deputy, LaDonna Williams. Williams had filed a sexual harassment complaint against Kimbrough, and Parkes was allegedly trying to gather evidence to support Kimbrough's denial of the allegations.
Parkes was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and complete 40 hours of community service. She was originally charged with felony eavesdropping, but the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor as part of a plea deal.
The case drew attention to the issue of sexual harassment in law enforcement. Williams' allegations against Kimbrough were ultimately dismissed, but the case highlighted the need for better training and procedures to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace.
