The District Attorney’s Office for the Brunswick Judicial Circuit today announced the conviction of Michael Kozlowski, age 32, for one count of Rape, one count of Child Molestation, and one count of Incest.
On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, a Camden County jury found 32-year-old Michael Kozlowski guilty for the Rape, Child Molestation and Incest of his 12-year-old stepdaughter. Due to the strength of the evidence presented by Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Harold Moroz, the jury only deliberated for five minutes before it found Kozlowski guilty of all charges.
Following the verdict, Judge Robert Guy sentenced Kozlowski to serve a term of life in prison for Rape, twenty years in prison for Child Molestation, to run concurrent with the Rape sentence, and fifty years prison for Incest, to also run concurrent with the Rape and Child Molestation sentences.
Evidence presented at trial showed that Kozlowski repeatedly raped his stepdaughter at their residence in St. Marys during the period of time from August 2020 through August 2021. Even though the victim had told her biological mother years before that her stepfather had sexually assaulted her when they lived in Michigan, the child’s mother did not intervene, and Kozlowski continued to abuse the victim after they moved to Georgia. The victim’s biological mother was previously sentenced in Camden County for felony charges related to this case.
On the witness stand, the now 16-year-old victim credited the intervention of St. Marys Police Detective Kimberly Reale, who was the first responding officer on the scene when the crime was reported in August 2021, with having stopped the on-going sexual assaults.
The victim in this case continues to reside in Camden County but does so now under the love and care of her adopted parents.
Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Hal Moroz, who prosecuted the case, stated that “the overwhelming evidence and thorough investigation by the St. Marys Police Department contributed mightily to the swift verdict and rendering of justice!” Moroz went on to thank the jury who heard the gruesome testimony and sordid details, stating that “without the participation of good citizens in our community, our efforts would fall short, but because of their efforts, we have justice in Camden County, and that is a blessing!”.
