Law&Crime Network published November 13, 2024: Tattooed-Covered Creep Kidnaps Woman and Keeps Her Prisoner for Days.
The man who kidnapped a woman in Ohio and held her against her will inside his garage for four days entered a guilty plea Tuesday. A judge sentenced William Mozingo to at least 25 years in prison for the October 2023 crime. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner breaks down the emotional plea hearing and the horrifying kidnapping.
I watched this bodycam video after he was arrested. It's so hard to watch the officers laughing before, during, and even afterward with the suspect when he was being arrested. Then the officers escort the victim out to the street where the suspect is being put into a van and she's not covered or protected from her predator. Just unreal sick twisted behavior from these Ohio police officers. Watch the video above and see how it makes you feel.I want to point out that he should have also been charged with ATTEMPED MURDER. Because he was clearly trying to kill her eventually as I'm sure is quite evident in the over 400 VIDEOS he saved and police have in custody that was most likely to be sold on the dark web for profit.

AKRON, Ohio (WKRC) - A serial kidnapper who held an Ohio woman hostage and beat her with a baseball bat has learned his fate one year after her rescue by police.
According to USA Today, convicted kidnapper William Mozingo Junior, 34, who has assaulted and kidnapped multiple women in Ohio across the last 15 years, pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the abduction of 23-year-old Chloe Jones, who was held hostage in a garage for four days in Akron, Ohio. In bodycam video that captured his arrest in October 2023, Mozingo can be heard continuing to profess his love to Jones before he is taken to a police cruiser.
Jones' mother, Jessi Barham, spoke with WEWS-TV around the time of Mozingo's arrest, telling reporters that her daughter was beaten beyond recognition. Barham told Cleveland-based station that "he would cuddle her in between beatings," in once instance "doused her in gasoline" and threatened to light her on fire, and on another occasion threatened to slit her throat.
USA Today reported that Mozingo recorded over 400 videos during the time he was holding Jones against her will, with the court being shown ten of the videos by Assistant Prosecutors Emily Williams and Assistant Summit County Prosecutor Jamila Mitchell. According to the outlet, the video is visually indistinct, although Mozingo can be heard threatening Jones, demanding payment for cigarettes and threatening to burn her alive.
According to USA Today, Jones recalled dealing with homelessness in her victim impact statement, remembering how Mozingo had promised her shelter, but instead tied her up and took her hostage, yelled at her, threatened her on multiple occasions and strangled her.
"Because of you, I have traumatic brain injury, anxiety, PTSD and night terrors. After today, you will go to prison, and I will go to my son and my family," the letter from Jones reads, per the outlet.
As a result of Mozingo's actions, Mitchell said Jones suffered a broken hand, nose, bruising across her body, long-lasting mental trauma and traumatic brain injury.
During the sentencing hearing, Mozingo apologized to both Jones and the court, saying "I would like to say that this incident stemmed from when we were fueled up on methamphetamines. I had a lot of time to think and reflect, and I would like to apologize to the victim and the family," per USA Today.
Mozingo has previously pleaded guilty in four other kidnapping or abduction cases in Ohio, according to USA Today. In Adams County, between 2009 and 2015, he entered guilty pleas in three separate cases.
- 2009
Mozingo pleaded guilty to abduction, domestic violence and endangering children in 2009 and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
- 2011
Two years later, he pleaded guilty to abduction and was sentenced to three years in prison.
- 2015
Mozingo later pleaded guilty to abduction in 2015 and was sentenced to nine months in prison.
- 2017
Two years later, He pleaded guilty to abduction and aggravated menacing and was sentenced to serve 18 months in prison.
THEN
In an unrelated case in 2020 Mozingo pleaded guilty to felonious assault, according to USA Today, which added that he was also sentenced to serve six months in jail for possession of drugs in 2023.
Jones' mother wrote in her victim impact statement that Mozingo was able to target and assault multiple women because of the failure of previous courts to punish him for his crimes, per the outlet.
"The fact of the matter is that this man should not have been out. This is not the first time you have abducted a woman and tortured her," Barham said in court, according to USA Today.
When she addressed Mozingo directly, he turned away and shook his head, per the outlet, which added that he could be heard saying, "we already got it."
"You have the chance to do what every other judge has failed to do," Barham told Summit County Common Pleas Judge Susan Baker Ross, telling the judge that Mozingo would offend again if he was given the opportunity, USA Today reported.
Judge Ross described the case as horrible and said she was thankful Jones did not need to sit through the trial, which has garnered both national and international attention, per the outlet.
Mozingo pleaded guilty to the following charges hours before his scheduled appearance in a jury trial, according to USA Today:
- Felonious assault
- Kidnapping
- Strangulation
- Escape
He was sentenced by Judge Ross to serve 25 to 31 and a half years in prison, his longest prison term to date.
