J. Howard Marshall
James Howard Marshall is an infamous child predator who reportedly stalked and molested an estimated 1500 [1] pre-pubescent children between 1949 and 2007. He is currently awaiting trial.[2]
Early life
Marshall was born February 7, 1932 in Sacremento, California to Miles and Lindsay Marshall, both talented pediatricians. Since becoming interested in younger boys at the age of 15, he has played minor roles in several undeground child pornography rings, and been a suspect in several rape cases. As a young child, he was often quiet and withdrawn. His personality dramatically changed at the age of ten when he saw Gold Diggers of Broadway at his parents' acquaintance's locally-owned theater. He took increasing interest in various types of sexual deviancy, including snuff pornography and S&M. At the age of 16 he allegedly raped his first victim, a 10 year old neighbor. The family pressed charges, though they were later dropped when Marshall agreed to admit himself to a local Psychiatric hospital.
Continued crime
The rapes hit their peak in 1980 when he kidnapped and molested the daughter of famous author [[Dan Brown]. It was around this time that he was often found playing extra-like roles in blockbuster movies such as The Shining and Superman II. He reflects on this period in an interview with the now-defunct WJPM Blackout Radio, "Most casual movie-goers haven't heard my name, and although my small uncredited roles didn't help this, I feel confident with my current career status and the character(s) I'm playing."
Later Life
His wife, Naomi Nelson Marshall, gave birth to their first child, Laura, in 1984. In early 1989, Richard was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, prompting him to, at first slow down, then discontinue, his brief acting career. He altogether faded from the public eye until 1995 when he was controversially arrested for possessing vintage erotica that officials deemed to be child pornography. The crimes continued until 2007, when he was captured and arrested while lurking at a Chuck E. Cheese. He now admits to violating over 1300 victims, though he is a suspect of many more. [3]
