Jay Man Charged With Sexual Battery Of 8-Year Old Girl
April 28, 2020
A Jay man has been charged with allegedly molesting an 8-year old girl.
Michael George Rasmussen, age 42 of Cobbtown Road, was charged with sexual battery by a suspect over 18 on a victim under 12, a capital felony.
During a sleepover in January, the victim revealed that she had been inappropriately touched by Rasmussen around Easter 2018 when he thought she was sleeping after a trip to the beach, according to an arrest report. She later told a Santa Rosa Kids House investigator that she did not tell her mom because she was scared but eventually told a friend during the sleepover.
A Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s deputy wrote in his report that he set numerous appointments to interview Rasmussen about the allegations, but he refused to appear.
The redacted arrest report does not reveal the relationship between the girl and Rasmussen.
Rasmussen remained in the Santa Rosa County Jail with bond set at a half million dollars. If convicted as charged, he faces life in prison.

I know this man personally. I’m very close with his daughter. Never thought he’d do such a thing. He was always sweet and kind not in a creepy way either. Wow! This is crazy. Please people keep a close eye on your kids. Don’t let strangers near your kids. Even your loved ones also have tht thought tht something could happen.
Incredible…. Yet another fine upstanding resident of S.R. county involved in this type of behavior. You can’t “move east of the river” any longer to get way from these folks. keep watch over your kids. TRUST NO ONE!!! Including schools, church or friends and family it’s sad to say
As soon as he is convicted he should be executed.
That wont happen, unfortunately. Life in prison is too lenient. He will get a lot of “justice” and other things in his cell block.
