Justin Mixon who is unlawfully and motivated by an unnatural and abnormal sexual interest in children" resolves his case before preliminary and has to register as a sex offender

 

On 10/21, instead of his preliminary hearing, 28 year old Justin Mixon entered a guilty plea to Count 1, PC 288.4 (b) meeting minor for lewd purposes. The detailed complaint elaborates the the charge which states Mixon is "unlawfully and motivated by an unnatural and abnormal sexual interest in children." Mixon is required to register as a sex offender. Counts 2 and 3 were dismissed by the People.

Humboldt Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm is the prosecutor for this case. Deputy Public Defender Casey Russo is Mixon's attorney. 

Sentencing is on 11/14/25.

The previous post I did on Mixon's July arrest has more information including the complaint, updates on the case until the plea and Mixon's two 2023 cases transferred from Mendocino County. Mixon has a family law case in Mendocino County. He filed the case to "establish parental relationship."
