Ten Years in Prison for Palm Coast Man Who’d Filmed His Own Rape of Unconscious Girlfriend

Lloyd Allen Parrish, 62, could have been sentenced to life in prison had he been found guilty at trial: he faced two first-degree felonies and a third-degree felony, adding up to a potential 65 years in prison for raping a woman deemed “helpless” under the law, taking video of the assault, then tampering with the  witness–the victim in the case–in an attempt to keep her from testifying.




Instead, he pleaded and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison followed by 10 years on sex-offender probation and registration as a sexual predator. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison on each of the first-degree felony counts and to five years on the third-degree felony count, but the sentences will run con current to each other. He was represented by attorney Daniel Burke. Assistant State Attorney Melissa Clark prosecuted the case.

The victim realized she had been raped when she discovered a video of the assault in her Goggle Drive account, where Parrish had uploaded the clip. The night of the assault she had been grieving for her dead cat and had taken prescription muscle relaxers to help her sleep, as she was having trouble sleeping. Parrish himself confirmed that it was him in the video, which he admitted he had made for self-gratification. The couple had been in a relationship for 17 years.

The evidence would have been too strong for a jury not to convict on the charges, leading to the plea.

The conditions on his probation will include a nighttime curfew, a prohibition on living within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, day cares, parks or any place where children commonly gather, a prohibition on contact with children, on accessing the internet or working for pay or as a volunteer in numerous settings where children are present, and several other restrictions and conditions.




Since he was sentenced for a violent sex crime, he is not eligible for early release or “gain time,” and his credit for time already served at the Flagler County jail–where he’s been incarcerated since his arrest in early May–will only shave off five months from his 10-year sentence. The sentence was imposed by Circuit Judge Dawn Nichols on Tuesday.

Palm Coast Man Accused of Raping Unconscious Girlfriend, Capturing Attack on Video and Uploading It

March 5, 2024–Lloyd Allen Parrish, a 62-year-old resident of Radcliffe Drive in Palm Coast, is being held without bond at the Flagler County jail on a first-degree felony rape charge and a lesser charge of video voyeurism after his girlfriend of 17 years saw him on video sexually assaulting her while she was unconscious.

According to his arrest report, Parrish, who described himself as a “sexual deviant and as being sexually frustrated,” conceded to Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies that it was him on the video, after initially accusing his girlfriend of fabricating the whole story.




The attack took place on Feb. 20, after the woman had been grieving over the loss of her pet cat and she had been having trouble sleeping. She took muscle relaxers and went to sleep. She was unaware of what Parrish allegedly did next until she saw the video two weeks later. He had uploaded the video to his Google Drive.

A deputy reviewed the video, describing the woman as “clearly helpless” and in “a deep sleep” when the man, “subsequently confirmed to be” Parrish, is then seen on the video exposing the woman and digitally penetrating her and pleasuring himself as he recorded 11 and a half minutes.

The woman had never consented to being recorded, as Parrish also conceded, and at no time became aware that she was being either recorded or victimized. Parrish “was aware that she was completely helpless at the time of the incident,” his arrest report states. Deputies interviewed him on the front lawn of his house before charging him, arresting him and taking him to the county jail, where he remains. A judge signed a no-contact order regarding his girlfriend.

The charge of sexual battery, or rape, on a helpless person carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. The video voyeurism charge is a third-degree felony with a maximum penalty of five years.
