Bratt Man, 72, Guilty Of Child Sex Abuse, Faces At Least 25 Years In Jail
February 4, 2010
A 72-year old Bratt man has been found guilty on child sex abuse charges and will likely spend the rest of his life in jail.
Jody Posey was convicted Wednesday by and Escambia County jury on charges of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child under 12. He was arrested March 5, 2009, for fondling a five-year old girl at his residence at 7100 North Pine Road in Bratt between November 2007 and January 2009.
The child victim took the witness stand and testified about Posey touching her underneath her clothes as she sat on his lap. The most recent molestation reported by the five-year old was January 9, 2009. The girl told officials that Posey told her she would go to jail if she told anyone about the incidents.
The State Attorney’s office also presented testimony from another girl who testified that she had been molested by Posey between 2001 and 2006 at Posey’s home. Posey faces additional charges of lewd or lascivious molestation in that case.
Following the verdict, Circuit Judge Kenneth Williams remanded Posey to custody and set sentencing for Friday afternoon. Posey faces a maximum sentence of life
imprisonment. Florida Statutes require that Posey be sentenced to no less than 25 years imprisonment followed by probation or community control the remainder of his life.
Update: Work On Highway 97
February 4, 2010

Thursday, crews will continue work to remove trees and brush from the right of way on Highway 97 near the Walnut Hill Community Center. On Friday, they will move to just north of Wiggins Lake Road.
Shawn Joseph, project administrator for Panhandle Grading and Paving, Inc., said that he does not anticipate any lane closures Thursday or Friday, but drivers should exercise caution.
