Pensacola Man Arrested on Capital Felony Charges for Sexual Battery of a Child Under 12
PENSACOLA, Fla.—The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has arrested Michael Mock, 48, of Port Saint Joe, on charges stemming from the sexual abuse of a child victim.
Mock was arrested upon his return from a cruise after FDLE agents secured a warrant for his apprehension.
Details of the Charges
Mock faces two major felony charges:
- Sexual Battery on a Victim Under 12 (A Capital Felony)
- Lewd and Lascivious Molestation of a Victim Under 12 (A Life Felony)
The investigation began when the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) received a report from the victim regarding an incident that occurred approximately six years prior to the disclosure. The DCF interviewer confirmed Mock as the suspect named by the victim.
FDLE agents issued a warrant for Mock’s arrest on November 6. However, they discovered Mock had left on a cruise out of Port Canaveral that same day. He was arrested by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office when he returned to port on November 9.
Mock is currently being held on no bond pending his first appearance. The case remains active and will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 14th Judicial Circuit.
