June 23, 2023 Crime, Religion

The Pottsville Republican-Herald reports:

The former pastor of a church in Andreas was jailed Wednesday after being charged by West Penn Twp. police with indecent assault involving three juvenile girls between 2007 and 2012.

Marvin Leroy Mosley, 43, of 101 College Ave., Milroy, Mifflin County, was arraigned on two felony counts each of indecent assault of a person under the age of 13 and corruption of minors where the defendant is age 18 or above; and two misdemeanor counts of a person under the age of 16.

Mosley is no longer a pastor at the United Methodist Church in West Penn Twp., but at the time of his arrest was serving at a church outside of Schuylkill County.

Wilkes-Barre’s NBC affiliate reports:

As stated in court documents, on April 27 of this year, the victim told police she and two other females had been sexually assaulted by Mosley. Police say the first victim was assaulted by Mosley from the time she was seven, until she was 15.

Court documents state the incident began with gestures such as Mosley pulling hair and tickling, and then led to him exposing and touching their private areas. The affidavit says Mosley would often take the girls on four-wheeler rides in the woods where he would hug them and press his body against theirs.

Police say during an interview with Mosley, he admitted he did sexually assault the three victims for 15 years, switching from one girl to the other. Mosley says he was starving for sex and he would get aroused when they would walk in the room and while playing with them, police say.

According to the first report linked above, Mosley remains jailed, unable to pay a $100,000 bond. It doesn’t appear that a mugshot is available yet.
