On Thursday, June 27, 2024
, at 1241 hours, I was dispatched to [10 BLOCK] Townsend DR NW Cartersville, GA 30121, about a sexual offense report.
On arrival, I spoke to [REDACTED], who indicated she was dropping off her daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY], at the location where her mother, [REDACTED], lives. They arrived at this location, and suddenly, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] mood changed when she observed Bradley Gasaway outside the residence. Bradley is a friend of [REDACTED] and came to visit her for a few days. [REDACTED] asked her daughter why she did not want to get out, and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] indicated that previously Bradley had touched her inappreciably in the butt and breasts and had shown her his pe*is. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised this happened in a camper behind the residence.
[REDACTED] asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if any penetration had occurred, and she verified no. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] communicated to her mother that this incident happened in May 2024
.
I spoke to [REDACTED], who indicated the times [REDACTED BY AGENCY] has visited, she has not been afraid to be here with her. [REDACTED] also stated that this is Bradley’s third time visiting her at this location, and she recalls that one of those three times, Bradley and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] have been at this residence together. She usually monitors [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and has not seen anything unusual regarding Bradley towards her.
I spoke to Bradley, who indicated he is visiting from Florida to care for his mother, [REDACTED], who also stays at this residence. He did not want to discuss the allegations against him and said he would hire an attorney.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] and her mother returned to their residence in Rising Fawn, GA. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and Bradley will not be around each other.
I ed investigator Abernathy about the incident, and he indicated he would follow up. I provided [REDACTED] with a case number. Investigator Abernathy will do a DFCS referral.
