On 02-16-2022, a Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputy was dispatched to make contact with a concerned parent regarding sexual abuse of their (9) nine year-old child which reportedly occurred over the previous year in the 45000 block of Meadow Lane in Laytonville, California.
An initial report was taken documenting the allegations and the investigation was turned over to the Sheriff's Office Investigations Bureau (Detective Unit).
During the next several days Sheriff's Detectives continued the investigation and identified the suspect as being Wilmer Jack Mitchell.
Mitchell was identified as having recurring access to the child and evidence was discovered which identified multiple acts of sexual abuse beginning in 2020 and continuing through February of 2022.
