The trial for a former Mulvane area man accused in a case here in Reno County on charges of rape, aggravated sexual battery and breach of privacy continues in District Court with the state resting their case Wednesday afternoon.
Jodie Mosier is accused of raping the victim, committing a sexual battery and taking pictures of the victim when she should have had the expectation of privacy. These alleged crimes occurring on a then 32-year-old woman at M&M Point at Cheney Lake back on May 30, 2010.
The last witness was the victim who had apparently had been drinking at the lake and may have passed out, and that’s when the alleged sexual assault occurred. She says she started sleeping in a tent near a trailer, but then moved into the trailer. That’s where that sexual incident occurred.
The victim also testified to what she alleges happened not only at Cheney Lake, but two other alleged incidents in Sedgwick County, one at a home where she was staying in April of 2009 and the other in March of 2012 while stopped at I-135 and 53rd Street North. In both cases, she alleged that she was awaken with the defendant either touching her in private areas or on top of her. She said on cross examination that “a big guy was on top of me and I wanted it to stop.”
Earlier, the defendants ex-wife was on the stand and told of learning of what had happened to the victim as well as turning over one of the couples computers that actually had two hard drives inside. One of the hard drives allegedly had pictures of the victim. There was also some evidence presented of alleged inappropriate touching of a small child by the defendant, but that allegedly occurred in Sedgwick County.
The defense is expected to start their case Thursday morning, but it doesn’t appear the defendant will take the stand in his own defense.
Mosier also faces charges associated with the female victim and the small child in Sedgwick County.
