Stephon Mosley, charged in assault of girl, to be evaluated for competency

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- 26-year-old Stephon Mosley of Milwaukee appeared in court on Monday, December 29th for his preliminary hearing.

Before the hearing could get underway, Mosley's court-appointed attorney indicated to the judge that after having a conversation with Mosley, he urged that Mosley be evaluated for competency. The judge accepted the request -- and ordered Mosley to be back in court on January 15th -- when the doctor's report would be submitted.

Mosley faces charges of kidnapping and first degree sexual assault of a child. Prosecutors say the assault on the ten-year-old girl happened Tuesday, December 16th, near 15th and Orchard -- when the little girl was on her way to school.

A neighbor saw what was happening and managed to scare the suspect away.

Mosley is being held in jail on a $50,000 cash bond.
