Prince Frederick Man Already Charged With Indecent Exposure Now Accused Of Attempted Sex Offense At Nursing Center

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. — A Prince Frederick man already facing misdemeanor charges after allegedly exposing himself outside the Calvert County Nursing Center is now facing felony and additional misdemeanor charges after investigators alleged he entered a resident’s room, exposed himself and engaged in unwanted sexual contact with a cognitively impaired patient, according to two separate sets of court documents.

Wayne Anthony Parker, 66, of Prince Frederick, is charged in two Calvert County District Court cases stemming from incidents on June 17 and July 17, 2026, at the Calvert County Nursing Center on Hospital Road.

The first case, filed July 17 as a Statement of Charges (SOC) application, charges Parker with indecent exposure, trespassing on public agency property during business hours and disorderly conduct.

A second criminal application, filed July 23 following a more extensive investigation by the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, added additional charges, including second-degree assault, attempted third-degree sex offense involving a helpless or cognitively impaired individual, attempted fourth-degree sex offense involving sexual contact, third-degree burglary, fourth-degree burglary of a dwelling and an additional count of indecent exposure.

Alleged Refusal To Leave Nursing Center Escalates

According to the Maryland State Police application, troopers responded to the Calvert County Nursing Center shortly before 8 a.m. on July 17 after staff requested assistance removing Parker from the property.

Investigators alleged Parker had previously been a resident of the facility but had signed himself out against medical advice the previous day, at which time he was told by hospital staff he would not be permitted to return. Despite those warnings, Parker allegedly returned to the property the following morning.

The nursing center’s manager told investigators Parker no longer had permission to remain on the property and had repeatedly been instructed to leave. According to court documents, Parker allegedly refused, yelled profanities and created a disturbance that drew patients, visitors and staff to the building’s entrance.

While staff went inside to call police, witnesses alleged Parker sat on a curb outside the nursing center, removed both his pants and underwear, wiped himself in public and then changed into clean clothes while fully exposed. Court documents state he was visible to people inside the building through the windows as well as to those entering and leaving the facility. The manager later provided surveillance footage that investigators said corroborated the incident.

According to the charging documents, when a trooper asked Parker why he had removed his clothing in public, Parker allegedly responded that he had been given wipes and needed to change clothes. After being advised he could not expose himself in a public setting, Parker allegedly replied, “Oh, my bad.”

Investigators arranged transportation to take Parker away from the property after serving him with a trespass order barring him from returning to the nursing center.

Additional Investigation Leads To More Charges

Six days later, on July 23, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office filed a second criminal application after interviewing nursing home employees and reviewing additional evidence related to an alleged incident inside the facility that occurred one month earlier, on June 17, 2026.

According to the sheriff’s office investigation, deputies responded after staff reported an alleged sexual assault involving a female resident who was described in court records as substantially cognitively impaired.

Investigators interviewed several employees, including nurses who reported finding Parker inside the resident’s room without authorization during the early morning hours.

According to witness statements, Parker allegedly approached the resident while she was lying in bed, positioned his wheelchair alongside the bed and attempted to make physical contact with her as she tried to push him away. A nurse told investigators she intervened by pulling Parker away while asking what he was doing.

The nurse further alleged Parker was not wearing pants or underwear and that his genitals were exposed. She wheeled Parker back to his room, where she alleged he threatened to assault her.

According to court documents, investigators also interviewed Parker, who claimed the resident had come to his room and asked him to massage her legs. He alleged that, just before nurses entered the room, the resident unexpectedly began striking him several times in the chest. Investigators reported observing no visible injuries on Parker.

Deputies attempted to interview the resident directly but noted she did not verbally respond, something nursing staff advised was consistent with her medical condition.

Although investigators reported finding no visible physical injuries on the resident, she was transported for evaluation. Parker was moved to another unit while the investigation continued.

According to the application, detectives concluded Parker reasonably should have known the resident was substantially cognitively impaired. The application alleges that individual patient rooms inside the nursing center constituted separate dwellings, forming the basis for the burglary charges after Parker allegedly crossed the threshold into the resident’s room with the intent to commit a crime.

The sheriff’s office also sought an additional indecent exposure charge, alleging Parker intentionally failed to cover his exposed genitals during the encounter.

Because both cases were initiated through Statements of Charges, Parker was issued summonses rather than arrested. Court records show he is scheduled for a preliminary inquiry on Aug. 31, 2026, for the first case and Sept. 14, 2026, for the second.
