PREDATOR PROPOSED FOR RELEASE IN JACUMBA HOT SPRINGS

 

November 20, 2013 (Jacumba Hot Springs) – A hearing on December 23 will determine whether  or not Mikel Marshall, a sexually violent predator, will be released in rural East County.

Marshall spent 14 years in prison for molesting four boys, ages four to eight.  In each case, he was known to the families of his victims. He was later committed to a state mental hospital and completed an in-patient program for sex offenders.  A court has ruled that he can now be released; the Department of State Hospitals has proposed that he be placed at 42920 Desert Rose Ranch Road in Jacumba Hot Springs.
