Teen Enters Plea In Sexual Assault Of Young Boy

March 6, 2012

The Century teen accused of sexually abusing a 6-year old boy has pleaded no contest to the charge against him and will be sentenced as a youthful offender.

Michael Alexander Dubose of West Highway 4, was charged with two felony counts of sexual battery on a victim under 12 and fondling a child under 12. The sexual battery charges were dropped late last week as Dubose pleaded no contest to the fondling charge. He is set to appear in court before Judge Gary Bergosh in early May for sentencing as a youthful offender.

As a youthful offender, Dubose faces a maximum of 364 days in jail and up to six years probation. He remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond as he awaits sentencing.

Now 18, Dubose was 17-years old when he was arrested after a male victim told investigators at the Gulf Coast Kids House that Dubose had sexual relations with him over a one year period at two different units at Century Woods Apartments. He was later transferred from the Department of Juvenile Justice to adult court.

After his arrest, Dubose himself became the victim of alleged physical abuse by his mother and the mother of the victim. Juliette Dubose was accused of “whipping” Michael Alexander Dubose with an extension cord after learning that he allegedly had sexual relations with her son. After the beating, Juliette Dubose  instructed the mother of Michael Dubose, Kassedra Dubose, to also beat him with the extension cord, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

Both women pleaded to no contest to charges of cruelty toward a child. They entered into a pretrial diversion program under which charges will be dropped if they successfully complete the one year program.

    Don’t blame the victim’s aunt for beating the perp. Glad to see she is not getting a harsh sentence.

    17 & 18 year olds are not children they are young adults and once a child molester always a child molester. Go ahead and treat him like a child and we will be reading about him again in a year or so I just hope it’s not your child next time. Also just think if he is this old when he got caught I wonder how many other little kids he has molested over the years?

    I am not going to judge this person. I hope he can get the help he needs to be happy and a member of society and to move on from this situation. I do worry about the victim and hope he gets help too. This is sad.

    >>So will he be required to register as a sexual offender?

    That part, if he is required to do so, would come at sentencing.

    So will he be required to register as a sexual offender?
