MARISSA ASHLEY MOWRY ... Being held without bond
A 25-year-old Port Richey woman was arrested and charged with the sexual bat- tery of an 11-year-old boy. She is currently being held at the Hillsborough County Jail without bond.
According to the Hillsbor- ough County Sheriff’s Office, Ms. Marissa Ashley Mowry was at an undis- closed residence in Hillsbor- ough County in January 2014. Ms. Mowry, then 22, had sexual intercourse with the child that resulted in her be- coming pregnant. The child was born in October 2014.
Police said the Hillsbor- ough County Sheriff’s Child Protective Division is assist- ing in the investigation and the child will be placed with a responsible adult.
Ms. Mowry is alleged to have continued having sexual contact with the child on sev- eral occasions while he was between the ages of 11 and 14.
After completing their in- vestigation, detectives ob- tained a warrant and arrested Ms. Mowry Tuesday after- noon. She has been charged with 3 counts of sexual bat- tery by a person over the age of 18 on a victim under the age of 11, which is a capital of- fense, and 11 counts of sexual battery by a custodian over the age of 18 on a child over the age of 11.
A spokesman for the Hills- borough County Sheriff’s Of- fice said Ms. Mowry admitted committing the of- fenses in a statement given during an interview.
The incident came to light after the Pasco County Sher- iff’s Office received a tip on the Abuse Hotline. They con- tacted the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and forwarded the case on April 11th.
