Michael A. Marshall - Repeat Sex Offender - Baby Raper

In 1998 in La Salle County, Marshall was convicted of two counts of predatory sexual assault against a 7-year-old, receiving a seven-year prison sentence.



Michael A. Marshall has been in prison for sexually assaulting a child.

On Friday morning the Ottawa resident was in La Salle County Circuit Court on charges he assaulted another child.
The 32-year-old Marshall, of 1490 U.S. 6 Apt. 8, just outside Ottawa's western edge, is charged with four counts of predatory sexual assault of a child and two counts of aggravated sexual abuse. Because of his past sexual assault record, Marshall could be sentenced to life in prison. Marshall is in the county jail, needing $75,000 to make bond. Circuit Judge Cynthia Raccuglia appointed the public defender's office to represent Marshall.
Prosecutor Matt Kidder said Marshall is accused of committing three sex acts against a boy, who was younger than 13, between Feb. 6 and Feb. 8 and three acts against the boy between Feb. 20 and Feb. 22. Marshall was arrested late Thursday afternoon.

The La Salle County Sheriff's Office investigated the case for five days before the arrest, with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the La Salle County State's Attorney's Office participating.

In 1998 in La Salle County, Marshall was convicted of two counts of predatory sexual assault against a 7-year-old, receiving a seven-year prison sentence.

In 2008, he was found guilty of letting an unauthorized person drive.
