Milton Man Arrested for Stalking/Sex Offenses of Juvenile Female

On April 04, 2007 at approximately 2034 hours, Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office deputies were notified that a female juvenile had been inappropriately touched and was being stalked by a 47 year old Milton man. The female juvenile told her Resource Officer about the allegations. The victim stated that the activity had been occurring since February 2007. The victim stated that the suspect, Frank Mosley, started the behavior when he first saw the victim at a trailer park in Milton. While at the trailer park, Mosley told the victim that he liked "her butt" and was complimenting her about her looks. On April 1, 2007, Mosley again saw the victim while he was driving in his car on Overman Street in Milton. The victim was walking to the river with friends to go swimming. Mosley pulled up next to the victim and said "hi" and asked if she wanted anything from the store. Mosley then followed the victim to the river. Mosley then took off his jeans and shirt and went into the river with the victim and her friends, wearing only his boxers. Once in the river, Mosley grabbed the victim's buttocks. The victim pushed him away, at which time Mosley told her that he would "wait until she was a little bit older". Witnesses stated that Mosley was smiling when this occurred. On that same day, Mosley gave the victim his phone number and asked her to call him later. On April 2, 2007, Mosley again approached the victim at her residence and asked her why she didn't call him. The victim told Mosley that she didn't have a phone. Mosley offered to get the victim a cell phone so she could call him. Mosley also asked the victim if it was "cool" that they were talking. Mosley also asked her to walk somewhere so that he could pick her up in his vehicle. The victim told Mosley "no", at which time Mosley offered her money to go with him. The victim then went inside her residence and Mosley left. On April 4, 2007, Mosley returned to the victim's residence acted as if he were trying to purchase a boat that the victims step-father had for sale. Mosley was speaking with the victims step father. While there, Mosley dropped off a letter to the victim. The letter contained content that showed Mosley was trying to establish a romantic relationship with the victim. In the letter, Mosley told the victim that he was attempting to establish a relationship with her and her family, stating "Today I got closer with your step father so I can start coming by your house". This letter was given to the Resource Officer at the victim's school. Investigators were contacted and went to find Mosley. When deputies located him at a residence on Overman Street, Mosley took of running after refusing to be handcuffed. Prior to running, Mosley threw a cigarette pack containing crack cocaine. Investigators were able to apprehend Mosley and take him into custody. While searching Mosley's vehicle that was present, investigators located handgun ammunition.
