Former Dayton airport police sergeant accused of child sex crime avoids prison

DAYTON — A former Dayton airport police sergeant who plead guilty to a lesser charge after being accused of a sex crime stemming from an incident alleged to have occurred over 20 years ago was sentenced in court today.

FIRST REPORT: Dayton airport police sergeant indicted for old child sex crime

Sgt. Christopher Mohn, 43, was indicted last April on one count of gross sexual imposition against a child younger than 13, a third-degree felony, after an unidentified man said Mohn assaulted him as many as 30 times when the man was a teenager in the late 1990s.

Last month Mohn, who denies the allegations, pleaded guilty to a bill of information for public indecency, court records show.

Mohn was sentenced to five years probation and was ordered to surrender is peace officer certification.  Mohn also will undergo sex offender treatment.

Mohn’s accuser was a family friend who told detectives the abuse started when he was 12 in 1997 and continued for four or five years.

Mohn would have been in his early 20s.

The case, brought by Huber Heights police, involved what county prosecutors called a “late disclosure.”

Huber Heights police set up a recorded phone call between Mohn and his accuser, who described the allegations and Mohn said: “I did that and there is no excuses for it, but I just really want you to know it was never your fault,” the report stated.

When police had Mohn at the station for an interview, they said he walked out, flatly denying all the allegations, including an email exchange between Mohn and the accuser, and the phone call.

He was a sergeant with Dayton Airport Police until he was placed on paid leave in December 2017, and then fired in May 2018. He also used to work as a corrections officer with the Dayton Human Rehabilitation Center.
