Michigan man charged in Alamance County rape

GRAHAM — A Michigan man has been charged in Alamance County with rape
and other sexual offenses for incidents that allegedly occurred in the
southern part of the county in December.

Emmet Thomas Cosier, 73, of Boyne City, Mich., was charged with two
counts of incest, second-degree rape, two counts of second-degree sex
offense, first-degree rape, first-degree sex offense and attempted
first-degree sex offense. He was placed in the Alamance County jail
Friday under a $700,000 bond, according an Alamance County Sheriff’s
Department news release.

Cosier had a first appearance Friday and his bond was reduced to
$175,000. He is still in jail.

Cosier, who is a retired missionary and ran a school in Gambia, Africa
along with his wife until his retirement in 2002, was arrested at his
residence in Michigan by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force without
incident on a fugitive from justice warrant. He was taken before a
judge and placed under a $10,000 bond and ordered to surrender his
passport and turn himself into the Alamance County Sheriff’s
Department.

Cosier was told to have no contact with his daughter, the person
accusing him of rape and other incidents.

The woman, whose name won’t be released because the Times-News does
not release the names of alleged victims of sexual assault, reported
to the Alamance County Sheriff’s Department on May 6 that her father
raped her two times during a Christmastime visit with her and her
family last year, according to a warrant the sheriff’s department
obtained in June to search his email account in Michigan.

The woman told authorities that she “discussed the alleged rape with
Emmet Cosier through the email address,” the warrant states.

The woman alleges Cosier strangled her one time and held a knife to
her neck during the second incident, according to the warrant.

The woman, who grew up in Africa, told authorities that her father
sexually molested her throughout her childhood. She also alleges that
he has sexually assaulted other family members.

The woman told investigators that all the childhood incidents
“happened in Africa, but she was also raped in Pennsylvania while
living there with her parents. … She stated she had told the mother on
several occasion of the abuse, but her mother would punish her and not
believe her.”

In an October 2007 article published in the Petoskey News in Petoskey,
Mich., it was reported that Cosier was collecting used bicycles to
send to Gambia. It said that Cosier and his wife founded Good Seed
Mission in 1985 and opened the Seeds of Truth Christian boarding
school in the Gambian village of Massembe. They spent 35 years in
Gambia providing education and assistance to the poor.
