McCaulay Parker 28

Description

A man who preyed on women in their own homes, refused to take no for an answer and proceeded to sexually assault them, has been jailed for four and a half years and will be required to be on extended licence for a further three years.

He has also been handed a lifetime Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be on the Sex Offenders Register for life following his appearance at Hull Crown Court today (Friday, 20 March 2026).

As a result of two investigations conducted by officers from both Humberside Police and North Yorkshire Police, McCaulay Parker, 28-years-old, of Thanet Road in Hull was found guilty following a four-day trial in December 2025 of two counts of sexual assault after he preyed on two vulnerable women in their own homes in the areas of Hull and Skipton in North Yorkshire.

Parker first came to our attention in July 2024, after officers received a report from a woman alleging she had been sexually assaulted by a man named McCaulay Parker.

The woman explained how, posing as a tradesman, Parker had approached the woman asking if she needed any work doing. The woman politely declined, but Parker turned up the next week to undertake the work anyway, first checking whether she was home alone before entering her property.

Within minutes, Parker was making inappropriate comments towards the woman, making her feel uncomfortable before trying to touch her without her consent, and proceeding to sexually assault her.

An investigation was launched, and officers got to work trawling through CCTV from around the area to establish the circumstances, conduct arrest attempts for Parker, and start building evidence against him to eventually secure a charge.

CCTV enquiries showed the predator Parker approaching the woman’s address and luring his way in despite her not consenting.

Parker was subsequently circulated as wanted on Police National Computer (PNC) and he was arrested a few days later at his home address.

Whilst in custody and during interview, Parker denied all allegations put to him and he was subsequently bailed by the courts pending further investigation.

In March 2025, our North Yorkshire Police colleagues then received a report from a woman that a man claiming to be a door-to-door salesman had sexually assaulted her in her own home.

Officers were immediately deployed, and an officer spotted a man nearby matching the description given by the woman, and a man, later identified as Parker, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and transported to custody.

Initial enquiries alerted North Yorkshire Police to Parker as being listed on PNC with regards to his pending prosecution for the incident in Hull, and the two incidents were subsequently linked by the Crown Prosecution Service. After pleading not guilty to both offences, a trial was set for this December. 

Leading the Humberside Police investigation was Police Constable Jessica Holland from our Criminal Investigation Department, who said:

“Parker had exactly the same MO in both cases, where he would prey on lone women, probing them to ensure they were single or home alone, before luring his way into their own home under false pretences, refusing to take no for an answer and then sexually assaulting them.

“No one should be made to feel unsafe in their own home, and what Parker did to these women was not only repulsive, but extremely intrusive. To then deny what he had done and force the two women to sit through a trial and relive what happened to them all over again, is not only inhumane, but spineless.

“In the North Yorkshire case, Parker took it one step further, behaving so nonchalantly and acting like nothing had happened by asking the woman if she wanted to get high with him after what he had just done to her.

“Whilst the sentenced imposed today will not take away what the women have been through because of Parker’s actions, I am pleased he has been held accountable for his crimes and will now be behind bars to reflect on what he has done.

“We take all reports of contact and non-contact sexual offences extremely seriously, and we would encourage anyone who has been a victim of crimes of this nature to please come forward, when you are ready.

“We work with partner agencies and specialist services to offer support throughout the entire judicial process and will do everything we can to ensure perpetrators like Parker are brought to justice.

“If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual offences, please report it to us via our non-emergency number 101, attend your local police station with a friend, or someone you trust, or always call 999 in an emergency.”

Detective Constable Amy Sharrad, from North Yorkshire Police's Criminal Investigation Department, added:

"This is a particularly distressing and heinous case whereby Parker acted as a door-to-door salesman in order to prey on lone women in their own homes.

"Our homes are our safe spaces. Instead, Parker invaded their personal, safe space and caused a great deal of trauma in these two random attacks.

"Understandably, this has had a lasting impact on both women. The sentence does not take away what they continue to live with, but hopefully it helps to provide a measure of comfort and strength to move forward with their lives.

"I am pleased the jury saw through Parker's lies, allowing him to be held accountable for his despicable actions.

"I commend both victims for their bravery right through from reporting to enduring the trial. It hasn't just meant securing justice for themselves, but I hope it gives confidence to other victims to come forward, knowing that they will be listened to by the police and the wider criminal justice system will do everything they can to get justice for them."
