Wagoner Resident Sentenced To Fourteen Years For Child Neglect
Salasha Fae Bosley, age 26, of Wagoner, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 168 months in prison for each of two counts of Child Neglect in Indian Country.
On December 12, 2024, Bosley pleaded guilty to the charges. According to investigators, between September 2023 and June 16, 2024, Bosley failed to provide two children with adequate nurturance, affection, food, shelter, sanitation, hygiene, medical care, supervision, and sanitary living conditions while responsible for the health, safety, and welfare of the children. One of the children sustained life threatening injuries because of the neglect which will require lifetime medical intervention.
The crimes occurred in Wagoner County, within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation Reservation, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
"The defendant willfully and shamefully put two innocent children at grave risk by neglecting to provide for their most basic needs,†said FBI Oklahoma City Special Agent in Charge Doug Goodwater. "Cases like this are among the most difficult to investigate, and collaboration from our partner agencies is vital to achieving justice. I'm thankful for the efforts of everyone involved to ensure the defendant will not be able to inflict further harm on these children.â€
"The appalling neglect these children endured is inexcusable,†said United States Attorney Christopher J. Wilson. "I wish to thank the Wagoner County Sheriff's Office and the FBI for their tireless work to rescue these children from deplorable treatment and living conditions. We are proud to stand with our law enforcement partners to protect the most vulnerable in our communities and hold offenders accountable.â€
The Honorable John F. Heil, III, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing.
Bosley was remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.
