Cantonment Man Sentenced To Life In Prison For Sexual Battery Of 5-Year-Old Girl
October 31, 2025
A Cantonment man will spend the rest of his life in prison for the sexual battery of of a 5-year-old girl.
Adrian Mark Enfinger, 71, was sentenced this Thursday by Judge John Simon to three consecutive life sentences in state prison on three capital felony counts of sexual battery on a person less than 12 years of age by a person in a familial or custodial authority.
“This defendant was the monster in this child’s life and there is not a mitigating factor ever in existence to justify the Court showing mercy in this case,” prosecuting attorney Carrie Gilmer said.
The abuse is alleged to have taken place between January 1 and October 20, 2024, at his Cantonment home.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office opened its investigation after being contacted by the Spanish Fort (AL) Police Department. Witnesses told Spanish Fort police that they observed Enfinger alone in a bedroom with the victim who was not wearing underwear and later disclosed the alleged inappropriate sexual contact. He was then made to leave the residence.
Escambia deputies observed text messages from Enfinger. “In the messages, Adrian talked about breaking the family’s trust, asking for forgiveness, and making a terrible mistake. He described what happened as only occurring for a limited amount of time,” according to an arrest report.
Deputies later reported obtaining additional text messages.
According to the report, “In the messages, Adrian asked for forgiveness. He asked them to keep what occurred in their family circle, warning if it became public, there will be bad repercussions. Adrian described his soul as dead and how easy it is to fall into ‘Satan’s web’. He expressed deep remorse, sorrow, and shame for what he did. He believed something in his brain said ‘wrongly’ it wasn’t all that bad and felt it wouldn’t hurt anyone. He told (redacted) that what he did was wrong, but he did not abuse (redacted) as much as she believed.”
In a forensic interview, the 5-year-old girl told investigators that Enfinger touched her inappropriately at her residence in Spanish Fort, and related incidents of sexual contact at his Cantonment residence.
Enfinger was interviewed under oath by an Escambia County deputy.
“He admitted to touching the victim…He confessed that everything the victim stated did in fact happen,” the ECSO deputy wrote in his report.

Good..rot in hell… he is Disgusting….”he knows he did wrong”..WTH-ever…probably only because he was caught and the audacity to ask anyone to pray for anyone besides this innocent child, her family & perhaps his poor family for the ramifications they will endure because of his disgusting behavior is mind blowing!!!…..
I’ve been told my whole life about not leaving your children around an old man. Just because the man has been very upstanding his whole life, means nothing as his mind starts to slip. The family is often the last to notice a mind slipping away. Please watch your children around your elderly This was a very good man in his youth, to the best of my knowledge
I went to high school with Adrian, Tate). This is horrible. Prison will not be easy for this horrible crime.
I grew up alongside this family. It breaks my heart to see this, however I am happy that the child is getting some form of justice and that it isn’t being swept under the rug as it is in so many families. I know this baby has a long road of healing ahead. Im praying for you all.
Nobody really care what you are in prison for, they got their own problems. You will get a few that will try and boo you up to get something from you. A person would not go advertising it. But there are so many sex offenders in prison that even if someone tries and start something they are out numbered.
@JTV Unfortunately many times the other inmates don’t know. There’s a couple in Century Correctional one of which in the Christians men’s group.
Unfortunately I knew this predator !! When the people in prison find you out you will be dead soon !! Nobody cares for a living sexual child molester !! Your life should be over permanently !!!
You mean the rest of his SHORT life…
Father Time won’t get to him soon enough.
Everyone needs to pray for him and his family. His wife is a friend of mine, and she has gone through hell with this. He knows he did wrong, and I pray he continues to rely on GOD for his strength.
The inmates know why he’s there. News travels record speed on the compound. This dude wanted his family to live this lie with him. That’s what makes me ill. He’s devastated his entire family. My heart breaks for them and the child but he got what he deserves. The devil has him now.
Disgusting
Poor child. I hope they can heals from this! This guy won’t last long in there…. He was only sorry because he got caught! Disgusting waste!
I have a 5 year old grand daughter and the thought of someone toughing her in a sexual way makes me sick. He does belong in prison for the rest of his life and the other prisoners need to know what he has done to that innocent child…he is a sick pervert even at the age of 71. Never trust anyone with your child!
Hopefully, everyone in his prison block knows why he’s there.
