Michigan- A 25-year-old Harrison Township woman who passed as a boy when she had a brief sexual encounter with a 14-year-old Harrison Township girl has been sentenced to 330 days in the Macomb County Jail and three years probation after pleading guilty to two counts of criminal sexual conduct of the third degree.

Authorities said Nicole Anne Mosher befriended the girl and then lured her into committing at least two sexual acts with her. The victim did not know Mosher was a woman.

Appearing in court wearing orange jail garb, Mosher barely spoke when she was sentenced by Macomb County Circuit Judge Donald Miller. The judge also ordered that when Mosher is released that she has no contact with children under the age of 16.

She also will be placed on sex offender status.

When the judge announced his ruling, giving Mosher 135 days she already has spent in the county jail, the victim’s parents stormed out of the courtroom. Miller, according to the prosecutor, could have sentenced Mosher to 3 years in prison for taking advantage of the young girl.

In a letter to Miller read by assistant prosecutor Rebecca Oster, the victim’s mother asked the judge not to go easy on Mosher. “She preyed on my daughter. She portrayed herself as a 14-year-old boy. The pain will stay with my daughter for the rest of her life.”

She further said that her daughter often gets up crying at night and bangs her head saying, “It’s not my fault.”

The mother, who The Macomb Daily is not identifying to protect the victim, said Mosher is the worst kind of predator. She said she wants to prevent Mosher from doing this to another child.

Oster said she didn’t think the sentencing was fair, but she agreed that accepting the plea to a much lesser sex charge was in the best interests of the victim. Since the sex acts, the victim has become suicidal and currently remains in therapy.

“If we would have gone to trial, testimony would have been very, very difficult,” Oster said. “She could have gotten four years in prison but she did get the max at what the judge believed should have been her score (elements of the crime).”

Mosher’s attorney, Timothy Kohler of Clinton Township, said it was a tough case. He said Mosher lived in Kentucky until she was 18 years and moved to Warren at the age of 19 with her mother. She has one child.

“The sentencing was fair,” said Kohler. “She’s going back to the county for 200 more days.”
