71-Year Old Bratt Man Accused Of Sexually Abusing Two Young Girls Pleads Not Guilty
March 13, 2009
A Bratt man arrested for allegedly abusing two girls — one just five years old — has entered not guilty pleas in Escambia County Circuit Court.
Jody Posey, 71, of 7100 North Pine Road, was arrested by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department and charged with three felony child sexual abuse charges. Bond was set at $100,000 each on two of the cases, and no bond was set on one count. He remains in the Escambia County Jail.
A five-year old girl told investigators that Posey had been “massaging her privates”. The molestation allegedly occurred on multiple occasions over some period of time, according to authorities. The most recent molestation reported by the five-year old was January 9. The girl told officials that Posey told her she would go to jail if she told anyone about the incidents.
Posey was also charged for inappropriately touching a now 16-year girl several times over the last few years.
Posey’s court appointed public defender, Andrew Marks, entered a plea of not guilty on all three charges in Escambia County Circuit Court.
Court records show that the ongoing abuse of the now 16-year old occurred from 2002 to 2006 — when the girl was as young as nine years old.
Posey’s residence at 7100 North Pine Barren road is located north of Highway 4, less than one mile from Northview High School.

EWWW…
LOOK AT HIS FACE ON HIS PICTURE I THINK THATS SAYS IT ALL GUILTY…….SOMETIMES YOU CAN TELL JUST BY A PICTURE
OMG……..I HOPE HES NOT FOUND GUILTY I USE TO LIVE ON THE SAME ROAD WITH MY KIDS AND I KNEW HIM AND HIS WIFE AN DON’T THINK HE WOULD DO THAT…..BUT ITS ALWAYS THE ONES YOU THINK WANT DO IT THAT DOES…..BUT IF HE DID I HOPE HE GETS THE WORST PUNISHMENT THEY GIVE OUT FOR THIS……
Brandi , are you sure you don’t have any of that hurt on you still ? We being human and not God who truly can forgive , have to to live with pain that is inflicted by others and by our own acts of, wait for it , the word we don’t like to say or hear, SIN.
Try Matthew 18 :6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin , it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
i also know this girl’s mother and she is the sweetest and God-fearing person. she would never make something like this up. It is attitudes like Michelle’s that children don’t come forward and tell adults when something has happened to them. I also do not believe these girls made the story up!
Me and my family have known this man for many years and do not believe for a minute that this man is quilty of what he’s being accused of. He is a good hearted person who would do anything to help other people. Remember before you pass judgement, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. God knows the truth.
Lawdie be! what is this wurl comin’ to/
I do declare!!
James 5:16 the prayers of a righteous man is powerful and effective. My prayers and love goes out to the families I know as a small communty we all hurt but we all know satan is out to kill,steal,and destory but Praise God for the Lord Jesus Christ. The lord will give the girls more strengh than you’ll ever know I was raped at a young age,so I do know the hurt it causes but through the lord I have been set free and have helped others come to know the Lord. We ask Why, trusting God when you don’t understand is the answer. I pray that we all will seek the face of God.
My thoughts are for these girls. I’m not saying he’s automatically guilty, but if he is guilty, then these girls have had their innocence snatched from them in the most perverse way. The emotional scars left behind must be overwhelming. God bless these girls and their families as they cope with this wickedness.
IF, and this is a big “if” he is guilty, then Bratt and the surrounding communities will come face to face with the ugliest of abuse crimes: an adult abusing a child. And the real problem will be how to handle Mr. Posey, for some studies show that rehabilitation for drug abuse and other problems is feasible, a pedophile is usually “hard wired” and can not be rehabilitated. They are always prone to acting out.
I hope justice is served.
