A Florida jury convicted a man who admitted to sexually abusing a child during a police officer job interview, authorities said.
A Florida man, who aspired to become a police officer, admitted to sexually abusing his cousin during a police department job interview and now faces life in prison. Stephen Bodley, 26, was convicted by an Orange County jury last week of sexual battery on a child, the office of State Attorney Andrew Bain said in a news release. Bodley first mentioned 'playing sexual games' in a sworn officer application with the Apopka Police Department. He again mentioned the crime during an interview.
Bodley described sexually abusing a child years ago and admitted to it when he was asked to expand further. Detectives tracked down the victim's mother, who said Bodley and the victim had a close relationship, The Tampa Bay Times reported, citing an affidavit. Fox News Digital has reached out to prosecutors.
