Judge Denies Appeal for Sandy Parsons

CHARLOTTE, NC — An appeal wasΒ denied Thursday for the adoptive father of missing Salisbury teen Erica Parsons.

Sandy Parsons wanted his eight-year sentence on fraud charges dismissed, but a federal judge said no.

A judge denied an appeal by Erica’s adoptive mother, Casey Parsons, back in December.Β She’s serving a 10-year sentence.

Prosecutors say the couple collected government assistance meant for Erica for two years after she disappeared in 2011.
