UPDATE (April 2, 5:44 p.m.): The sexual contact between Mosley and the 16-year-old student was consensual, according to initial reports. The age of consent in Georgia is 16. However, Mosley still can be charged since he was in an administrative role as a teacher and the student was currently enrolled at the school.
Investigators still have more interviews to conduct but felt there was enough information from initial interviews on Friday to press charges, according to RCSO Investigator Michael Camp.
The affair between Mosley and the 16-year-old student had been going on for at least this school year and appears to have been conducted off campus, according to Camp.
Mosley was released on Monday morning on a $10,000 bond.
(April 2, 11:37 a.m.) According to a Rockdale County Sheriff's Office report, the school resource officer was called into the Heritage principal's office on Thursday in referrence to allegations that Mosley was having "inappropriate contact" with a student in the school.
Mosely submitted his resignation on Thursday. However, it’s likely the superintendent will recommend termination, according to Rockdale County Public Schools spokesperson Cindy Ball. Mosley began working with the school system in August 1999 and has been at Heritage since July 2006.
The case is still under investigation.
