POLICE: Redondo Beach man allegedly drugs, rapes and shaves victim

Arrested or charged? The author of this article clearly does not understand the difference or know the laws of California or of the United States. We have something called the Constitution--drafted by our forefathers---Innocent until proven guilty. There have been no charges filed. This is an alternative lifestyle witch hunt for a desperate female detective trying to justify her job in hard times. This author and his co-author need to go back to school.
This is a GAY WITCHUNT--this article is not substantiated in any way--this author is clearly homophobic or from reading some of his other articles---trying to make a name for himself.

Now comments are being censored?

Lisa is an idiot!

Sounds like a typical Republican.

I have a copy of the police report. The story is true. This guy is a menace who needs to be put away for life.

I am idiot? You do not even have the nerve to say who you are. This is a gay bashing. I am really curious about the detective's lifestyle. This so called journalist is writing garbage and is a disgrace to the community. You do not try and convict someone in the media.

The gay community needs to step up and support John Marshall because the Redondo Beach police are anti-gay and they are fishing. There is no crime against being gay or having an alternative lifestyle.

How many men and women lust after someone. I can guarantee you that this writer has lusted after women and has some particular sexual fetish. I would like to see the videos he has rented and what he looks at on the internet. Men are lustful. Would his wife approve of the thoughts that go through his head when he sees an attractive woman assuming he is not gay--since this writer has a pattern of writing sensationalistic articles about gay people.

Republican? Far from it. I am a proud -card carrying member of the ACLU and I believe in personal rights. Does this so called writer watches porn, which I am sure he does--I wonder if he is married if he has cheated on his wife? Let's start looking into his background and see what we can find out about him.

Is a single white female who owns a condo in North Redondo in her upper 30s a lesbian?? Would these people like it if their lifestyle was splashed all over the front page? Let's let their kids read it.

You judgmental-hypocrites--Let's ask the guys the writer grew up with whether he ever used drugs. Larry are you squeaky clean? What have you done in your past that you don't want anyone to know? Dirt is easy to dig up--whether it is true or not.

Defamation of character--is all this article is. This a great lawsuit material.

What is the point of bringing up someone's mother who just passed away? To cause pain?

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I don't think there is anyone out there who has not sinned in some way, whether it being stealing, lusting, etc. Ask God for forgiveness for all of YOUR evilness and sin. Worry about what you do and how you live your life.

Is a lesbian going to go to hell because it is a sin to be gay? God have mercy on all of you out there because you have all sinned.

You are trying him in the media because he is gay and with no actual proof. The media is slandering him with accusations that have never been proven. This is a typical gay bash. So everything in a police reoport is true? How are you basing that fact? I guess there has not been tons of cases of innocent people put away for something that someone has made up and lied about? Get your facts straight. You are innocent before proven guilty. The fact that the "author" brought in his mother's name who passed away is disgusting.

yes on prop 8!

haha

the constitution doesnt apply when it comes to sex crimes. havent you guys figured that out? The media is scum

i have known this man for 15 years and not only did he live in a house with about 8 people and yes 2 were young boys and a young girl... they were his family and they had friends! the family is well liked and loved. mr marshall has always been a very generous and fun loving man. his sexual preference is none of anybody's business and unfortunately many lies have been told in this article. the facts of his young belligerent friend, about how much he really drank that night or the fact that he waited a week to report anything, he says he thinks he was drugged however he remembers things... its not congruent. i know 2 people that have been slipped such drugs and they don't have any recollection of what went on for about 12 hours. young people have always flocked around john because he was a big kid, he loved adventures and traveling, he loved being social and being with friends and family ALL THE TIME, he was always with a group of people. He did not come from money at all, he made his own over time but is in no way rich or wealthy. John would treat us for dinner or go on a trip or take us wheeling or to the river to enjoy life. He is not a mean man nor a pedophile. The passing of his mother is also not needed here, way to pinpoint his entire family. THat information has nothing to do with the allegations being made and the family chose not to tell everyone of her passing as their decision and here you go throwing it in the mix. It is so sad and sick that you are completely destroying this mans life with no fair evidence other than words.

I am concerned about this suspects past. Sounds like he has been molesting young people for a long time. Its about time he get brought to justice.

Lisa, it's obvious that you are an acquaintance of Mr. Marshall and are so biased in your opinion that no matter how much evidence is presented in this case, you'll refuse to listen. Even a confession wouldn't be enough for someone like you.

Yes, Mr. Marshall is innocent until proven guilty, but I'm pretty sure that the police didn't choose his house at random. A victim reported a crime and the police followed up on it. In other words, the police did their job. From what I've read, the police did their job so well that they convinced a judge that a search at his house was necessary. Are you telling me that the judge was biased as well? Somebody call Oliver Stone, I'm starting to sense a conspiracy.

If you were a victim, or knew someone who was victimized, wouldn't you want the police to do something about it???

As for this being 'gay bashing' by the police, I would have to disagree as well. I'm sure that the police investigate numerous rape allegations in which the victims are female. Does the sex of the victim really matter? As far as I know, rape is still rape. Sex only matters when it's convenient to someone like you.

It's funny that you didn't mention the neighbor who admitted to smoking methamphetamine with Mr. Marshall. I guess he's a liar too. Either that or using illegal, illicit drugs is ok in the gay lifestyle.

You, Lisa, need to speak with a victim of a violent crime. Maybe hearing from a true victim will help open up your left-wing, ACLU card carrying eyes.

The more Lisa writes, the more she proves her idiocy.

I hope this sick pervert gets convicted and rots in jail. The inmates will have a field day with him! And his ignorant friends (like you, LISA!) should be thrown in jail too, as accomplices for supporting a rapist!

I always knew there was something "off" about this guy, it's all making sense now! I always saw him drinking at our favorite bar with guys young enough to be his kids.

This has nothing to do with being gay!!!!!!!!!!!! I have gay friends and none of them would DRUG anyone to get sex, especially young boys!!! One allegation may be a misunderstanding but as many allegations as he has had, there has to be some truth to it!!!!!

Lisa, you concern me a lot. I dont think that anyone here is at all concerned about the RBPD and their actions here. They received a complaint from a possible victim and are acting accordingly. What do you want them to do, turn a blind eye. If any of this is true, we have a serial child/person molester here. The accusations are very concerning. If my child were at all ever associated with him, I would be very bothered. The RBPD is doing their job, from what this newspaper is saying is at all correct, this Marshall character here is a SICKO. A person that needs to go to jail for probably eternity. Lets call it like it is, this guy is a rapist.

It makes me sick how the media can influence people and have them judge a person without any solid proof. Wheather you are a celebrity or a nobody, you are done! I am proud to have John as a friend! (ok, all you anonymous and concerned citizens, if you got the balls, call me an idiot too!!!

The Breeze is only reporting what they know, based on the police report and witness accounts.

Judgment will be rendered by the courts, not to mention the court of public opinion.

And yes, Andrea is also an idiot.

Name calling is really mature. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion even if they are right or wrong. To jump to conclusions before any charges have been offically made is your decision. People should have all the facts before they jump to conclusions. Key word allegedly.

i know for a fact john marshall is not innocent. he was an old friend on mines landlord, and he was a real creep. AND my friend also told me while he was living there, that he heard that john marshall would drug and rape young boys. it was a shock to actually see it in the paper! he needs to be put away for a long long time as far as im concerned, he can rot in there.

I know at least a dozen boys I grew up with that were victims of John Marshall. He enticed the boys with all the cool stuff. remember we are talking 1980.. Video games, Odyssey off road vehicles he would race up and down the street, boats, jet ski's. All this to lure the young boys from the block to his house. Then the drugs come out and the police affiliation, then the molestation. I have heard countless stories just like this from my schoolmates, he has ruined countless lives. I hope justice is finally served and those victims deserve compensation in some way, due to the tremendous lack of effort on the part of the RBPD after countless reports.

Todd, I really hope that you and your friends come forward and talk to the police. There is strength in numbers and the more evidence and testimony the better! This man should be locked up forever!! Lisa must be a relative and seems to lack the capacity to be objective. I agree with innocent until proven guilty but this had to be made public so the victims will come forward. Sometimes if you know you are not the only one it makes it easier. I am proud of the victim that first spoke to police, it took tremendous courage!!!! Redondo police need to get off their ass and investigate these type of complaints instead of taking pictures with girls at the beach or pulling people over for cell phone tickets. Real crime may be some work but that is why we pay taxes, so RBPD GET OFF YOUR ASS!!!!!!! I hope his arrest brings some comfort to the victims and I hope his conviction will bring even more!!

its about time this guy goes to jail i was a victim of john all the alligations are very true i know first hand. ive tried to put this out of my mind for years. he has caused many people alot of pain.i will be talking to the police about this if i can put this creep away i will do what ever it takes.and i belive lisa is his sister.john is a generous guy very likeable, but none the less he is a predator of young boys and he needs to be stopped.maybe jail is what it will take to stop him maybe alot of counseling. rbpd is doing a fine job here so all you people who say youi are johns friend come on you cant tell me you dont know how he is. if he is such a mentor to young boys why is he getting them high and molesting them.

Thanks for writing this. Please call Redondo Beach Detective Denise Brenner at 310-379-2477, Ext. 2320, or contact her via e-mail at denise.brenner@redondo.org.

I don’t think the gay community wants to throw it’s support behind John Marshall…why would they. Sure, he’s a gay white male; but he’s also a serial child molester, who’s now sexually assaulting other gay men. This would not be a good poster boy for gay men.

Mostly, because the gay community and pro-gay community disavows itself from any connection, whatsoever, between gay men, and self admitted gay men who are also child molesters who molest only boys. Is it possible that the small percentage of gay pedophiles that only molest male children are in fact “deviant gay”. To tough to consider in the politically correct culture? This admission might connect the gay man to deviant sexual behavior, and they claim there is No Connection. But when confronted with this possible fact, the gay community(politically correct media, Oprah and Ellen and pro-gay researchers) like to point out that most child molesters are heterosexual to distance themselves from any scrutiny …they’re ok connecting heterosexual males to deviant sexual behavior with children; but never homosexuals to deviant sexual behavior with children. The gay community also deny that sexual identity, one being gay could be a learned behavior…it’s genetic, it’s in the DNA they profess.

But is it? Let’s look at John Marshall and his many male victims. John has also stated that he’s gay. His victims were young male children and now male, gay adults. When he molests a male child under the age of 10, and molests him into his adolescent years what does that do the child’s normal development sexual development and identity? The child’s first sexual encounter, first arousal and pleasure is associated with a same sex experience. All the child knows is I was chosen by a male, for a same sex experience… my body and mind responded and experienced intense pleasure. If John persuaded me to bring him the same pleasure, it might have caused me pleasure at the same time. Now my only knowledge and experience of sexual pleasure and my sexual development was same-sex, which by most definition is labeled as homosexual(gay) and often then self-questioned and interpreted by the child as gay behavior. Am I gay? well a gay man chose me, we had same sex sexual behavior, it felt good, maybe he saw something in me, maybe I’m gay, my friends will think I’m gay if they find out…and if the child’s misperception of sexual identity is not corrected in therapy it could and often does lead to self identification with the same sex. It’s called social learning theory…when a person observes or in this case receives pleasure for a behavior they are more likely to model, imitate, and adopt the behavior themselves. When children observe domestic violence, they often identify with the abuser, whom they love and become an abuser. Kids of drug addicts, or criminals who observe these behaviors in their parents and see their parents who idolize the behaviors, often imitate and then become drug addicts, in this same way.

Statistically, why do so many of female(and male) victims of child sexual abuse, usually by male perpetrators, later become prostitutes, or porn stars? Because they were used for their sexuality, they usually felt pleasure and observed the abuser receiving pleasure, and incorrectly internalized that all men just want sexual pleasure, what they have no other value; and they were used, and wanted.. not for who they are or their intrinsic value but the momentary pleasure they could bring to the perpetrator. They are replicating the molest with each act, feeling since they have nothing else to give but the impersonal act of sex with strangers.

And statistically, they found that 25% of male and female children are sexually molested sometime before age 18. If most molesters are male, then most of the male child victims are being molested by males. More male victims do not disclose, out of shame, and fear peers will identify them as gay…so they suffer silently struggling with sexual identity confusion issues, and many then continue the only sexual relationship they have ever known, and pursue gay relationships, or label themselves bi-sexual, which has become a fad in the high schools thanks to the pro-gay clubs(Gay Straight Alliance Networks) and pro-gay agenda on most campuses. These victims are not gays, born that way, their sexuality was not determined genetically…it was shaped, modeled and encouraged by their ongoing sexual abuse by the male pedophile. And this confusion only further engrained by the society and culture that now espouses the falsehood that if your gay, you were born that way and cannot change.

Thousands, or tens of thousands of these child male sex abuse victims by males pedophiles(gay and non-gay) who might chose to copy the gay lifestyle they were introduced into and are now imitating homosexual behavior are doing so according to social learning theory.

I went through this identity confusion; however, I never repeated the same sex behavior, have never been aroused by a man and got great counseling and have never doubted that I’m heterosexual, and have always been.

The good news is that the majority of the male victims that receive good counseling, understanding support and learn it was not their fault, that they were not made gay from the early sexual abuse and that any child would feel sexual pleasure from any person stimulating them will come out less traumatized and transition into heterosexuality. The others, could have been born gay, I guess…but I’ve never seen any conclusive research that has found the “gay gene”. It’s mostly research done to prove a point.

Other victims...keep coming forward and contact the Redondo Beach Police Department!

Hey Lisa...you are John's younger sister, right. I knew you became an attorney, and will always stick up for John with anything he has done, like your mother, Alese. She and you knew for the past 20 - 30 years that John was molesting kids in your family homes on Susana, Mesa, and his residences in Walteria and on Catalina.

There's nothing lower than protecting a child molester. We can't wait to see you at the trial.

This has nothing to do with John's homosexuality...other than that he's a serial, deviant gay child molester and life-long pedophile.

I bet your mother is finally at rest knowing that John has been stopped and will now pay for his crimes.

Jack--you and others are the sick one people in this world. How dare you mention my mother's name. Who are you to cast judgment? Are you a closet gay? Afraid of what you have done and what you have desired? Give me a break. Have the balls to contact me --you pathetic pig.

John has never molested anyone. "Gay" child molester? Please---

Larry Altman--you want dirt? I have a lot--- I have a lot on the police and sheriff department--about their deviant behavior--you want a good story---get in touch with me. Unlike this nonsense you publish--and I do not think you have the nerve to publish this--I can support what I say---you can't. Have you heard of defamation? Do you know the elements? You have every low life coming forward spouting garbage--yet you publish it. You should be ashamed of yourself. Is this what you went to college for?

I hope your parents are proud of you--and I certainly hope they did not pay for your education and what you have done with it. You are a sensationalistic journalist who has no morals.

Lisa, you might be one of the most ignorant and bull-headed people I've ever "heard"!

You blame everyone else, including the publisher of an article stating TRUE facts based upon a police report, for the fact that your animal of a brother is a pedophile, rapist. He's also a drug-addict, pervert.

I hope your brother rots in jail for the rest of his life. You should go to jail as an accomplice to his crimes for protecting and justifying his behavior.

You are a truly a sick woman and in need of extensive psychological help.

I'm going to throw a party when John Marshall is sentenced.

Lisa, I'm sure John also molested you when you were a little girl. And your mother, father and stepfather failed to protect you, like the rest of the children. Now you protect the deviant gay child molester...to deny how he screwed up your life, caused you to question your own sexuality and turned you into a lesbian. What are the odds, a gay brother and lesbian sister in same family(out of only 2 children)? Statistically not very probable...sad how what he did to you caused you to despise men and become a lesbian! Did John molest your child too? I actually feel sorry for you and your family...even with all the garbage you spew about "poor John", and the wag the dog, change the subject calling this "gay bashing"...instead of acknowledging that John's life-long sexual perversion with abusing children has finally caught up with him.

Jack and Scout--you are clearly suffering from some form of mental illness. I--am the most sane person you will ever encounter. I will also fight till the end for what is right and just.

You are clearly perverted suggesting that my brother ever molested me. Give me a break-you sickos--go get some psychological help before you really hurt somebody besides yourself.

Did your sister--by any chance--have an illegitmate child? Were you one of those rental families that had too many children to care for and were left out on the streets without direction? Hmmmmm, let me think about it--you are crazy, hateful--don't be jealous because our mother loved us and took care of us. Don't be jealous because you were one of many who just happened to be.

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." Albert Einstein.

Need I say more. Yes, I guess---you have the privilege of annominity--Jack--give me a break. I, personallly, have nothing against lesbians. I, however, as the mother of three wonderful and successful children, one of whom is going to be a journalist---Please God--don't let him lose his ethical standards for sensationalistic journalism---Lesbians are who they are. Gay men are who they are. I am who I am. I have never been abused nor molested. You have such a sick mind. Jack--did you know your mother hit on my brother when he was a kid? "CHILD MOLESTER" LOL---you have no idea. Your mother was a whore, being repressed by a macho pig husband. Did you dad fondle your sisters :) Maybe he knocked up your sister. I know some things you do not know. I know a lot. I will tell everything I know--and a lot of people will go down--hard. You are messing with the wrong person. You are slandering me and my family. I speak only the truth--something which you do not understand. I am proud of who I am, where I come from and my family. I have no issue speaking the truth--can you? Do you know? The truth hurts.

Larry--I am proud of you for publishing my prior post. Because you did not publish a prior post--I did not think you would. If you ever want a really good story---get in touch with me. I only speak the truth. I do resent the fact that you use the word "victim" when publishing posts. What happened to the standard of law? You are holding yourself open---no journalist's privilege here--for a good lawsuit against you personally and the paper. Larry--I want to make myself very clear--I am the kind of person who follows the book--to the letter of the law. I will fight for what is right to the end without fear because I know I am just. I do not ever go beyond the law.

Unfortunately, what you are publishing from these so called victims--is nonsense. You have the bottom of the barrel low life, drug addict loser--not credible people coming out of the gutter to spout nonsense. You know the difference and yes, you should be ashamed. Ashamed that you are making your living doing what I hope and pray my son will never do--compromise himself---what he knows is right and wrong--and to ignore it. Yes, you should be ashamed. I can say from the bottom of my heart that I pray that my son will not become like you. You are not an example to follow as a writer. Where are your standards--what made you sell out? What made you choose the wrong path?

Larry--
I am printing and keeping everything that you have posted regarding this issue. There will be consequences for your abuse of so called power. You --and you alone--decide to classify someone as a victim? YOU will have to suffer the legal consequences of your slander.

You are directly publishing slanderous comments regarding my sexuality on this post. I am a hetrosexual mother of three and I have never been abused by anyone. You are picking and chosing what you post. YOU have not met anyone like me before. I am not a lesbian---I have not been molested and you are publishing garbage about the wrong person. I am a very strong woman who knows the law and how to use it in the right way--not like you do. You don't have to publish this. Just know that I do intend to pursue this issue. You directly have caused me substantial emotional distress--intentionally and you have slandered me by allowing these posts regarding me on your website linked to the Daily Breeze, your employer.

Lisa A Marshall...why do so many people on these posts say your a nut? delusional? an idiot? ask why you will protect your child molesting brother at all costs?

When we confronted your mother after John molested our sons, she was so apologetic and screamed at John like she was going to kill him. He looked so scared, but liked it, a true psychpath. What it must have been like living in that circus, all the toys, cars, even a real monkey, it was the original "neverland ranch" in Redondo Beach. John even had pictures with Michael Jackson. No wonder your so screwed up. I hope someone calls Child Abuse Hotline to make sure your kids were not molested by Uncle Johnny.

Lisa, John couldn't be just an innocent gay victim...he's gotten away with molesting so many children over the years that his sewer sterch has now overflowed on your families good name.

I did a Google search on your mother and her Alese Marshall Modeling agency...it appears that your now famous Brother John's "raping, drugging and shaving" articles are forever attached to her good name...It's a shame. He's all over the internet, internationally (in)famous.

We're not making all this stuff up...come on...Lisa, my kids know you from Redondo High, your family, your grandfather Rolland, the Stipicevich's, Peter Rustin, the Nordines, etc. Are you still on your 2nd marriage? I sure hope your children take after your husband, and not Uncle Johnny.

What is clear here? Misstatement. Someone has seen the guy hang out with men young enough to be his son – but we’re talking about men. Someone misinterprets that and starts talking about young boys. An incident between one 53 and one 29 year old man, and suddenly he’s painted as a child rapist?
We are told the 29 year old accuser was given a drug that made him unable to control his body, and yet they managed to have sex [and get his whole body shaved] in the shower. I’d like to see who could do that with a partner who was paralyzed. Maybe he just woke up the next day surprised. He wouldn’t be the first person to be pranked or shaved while intoxicated. But that isn’t a crime, is it?
Absolutely shocking that in a case where someone has been arrested but no charges are filed, the suspect is targeted by the hometown paper for everyone with something negative to say, whether it be jealousy, contemptuous ignorance, empty-minded blabbering about perversion, or, God help them, naming everyone in the family who are unconnected with the case to smear and humiliate the innocent persons who probably have been embarrassed. How cowardly for a newspaper or journalist, even if it is “only a blog,” to publish family member’s names.
How low we have sunk when we abuse words like “child molester.” We are in the epicenter of the youth culture where symptoms of aging are looked at as obscene, especially by the kind of young and arrogant people who are sharing their superficial impressions of this man. They say he is guilty of trying to look younger, of going to bars, where he drinks and tells wild stories about himself at his own expense. People who have no sense of humor don’t get his and find him “a bit off.” He has a sister who defends him (so he must have molested her too!!) If people become public property for public trashing just by being arrested, or by having a family member arrested, God help us all, because literally any one of us could be arrested for something and could just as easily be painted as a monster.

Hey "think first"...I don't think your thinking at all...how would you know if it's possible, or impossible for a person(John Marshall)to sodomize and shave a drug induced incapacitated man. It happens all the time, usually where men drug and then rape unsuspecting women. The victims don't need to be conscious, they're still raped, the suspect raping the drugged person's lifeless body. And it doesn't take cooperation to shave a lifeless body...come on.

Your either Lisa Marshall or a close friend of hers sticking up for John again.

We'll just let the criminal innvestigation takes it's course...you'll see, along with the facts of numerous prior child molestations.

this is so sad to see people bringing other innocent people in to this case. i certainly hope, no matter what the end result is with john marshall, that his relatives do something about the fact that their family is being named and attached to something when it has no place to be.

Yeah, it's a tragedy how Lisa(and her aliases)...and all the other bleeding heart liberals care more about the perpetrators family than the children who were molested for years and their lives were ruined.

There's a sickness inside Lisa and her supporters...it's like let's be sad that Jeffrey Dahmer's family was associated with the cannibal...let's cry for them and forget about the victims he ate for dinner. Get your concerns in the right priority.

Or let's throw the "gay bashing card" and get people to leave John alone to be politically correct..come on.

Maybe people would not be attacking Lisa and her many aliases, or family if she was not attacking the child victims of her brother. That's why he was arrested, he's a scum...who just happens to be your brother and your mother's son and you were aware of it all...there's no excuse.
