Police: Man Found In Kids' Bedroom Has Predatory Past

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore County man who was caught lurking in a children's bedroom in the middle of the night has a history of burglary and sex offenses, according to police documents.

Richard Marks, 49, was charged with attempted sex offense in the most recent case, but charging documents indicate that the incident is part of a pattern of behavior for Marks that dates back to early 1970s.

Charging documents obtained by WBAL TV 11 News showed that Marks had several prior arrests on charges including robbery, burglary and sex offenses; however, since he was never convicted of sexual offenses, he was never put on a sexual predator list.


In 1974, he was sentenced to five years behind bars. In 1980, he was convicted of assault with the intent to commit murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Nine years later, Marks was convicted on burglary charges and sentenced to four more years.

Court documents show that in 1991, Marks entered a Dundalk home on Kavanaugh Road through an unlocked basement door. The documents stated that Marks approached a sleeping teenage boy, told him to undress or he would kill him and then sexually assault him.

Marks was sentenced to 25 years in prison with no parole on burglary charges, while sexual offense charges against him were dropped. But he was released in April of this year -- after only 16 years behind bars -- because of good behavior, corrections officials told 11 News.

Officials said at the time of his sentencing in 1991, Marks admitted to being a repeat offender.

In the most recent case, Brian Jarrell said he saw Marks in his two children's bedroom armoire at 2:30 a.m. Monday.

"I don't remember much. My only thought was, 'I can't let this guy get out,'" Jarrell said.

Jarrell was able to subdue Marks until police arrived.

Charging documents revealed that at the time of his arrest, Marks was wearing clear rubber gloves, had three bandanas on him and that Jarrell found two rags with a strong odor of chemicals in the bedroom.

Police said they found a stain on the fitted sheet by the children's heads and found the same chemical odor on the children's hair. After Marks was subdued out front, a neighbor said he had to shake one child several times to wake him and that he seemed very lethargic and confused.

Police said they also found a backpack inside the home that they believe belonged to Marks. Inside it they found petroleum jelly, plastic gloves, girls panties, chemical-soaked rags, gum, candy, a razor and putty knife and costume false teeth.

The investigation continues.

Isn't there a law - convicted of 3 felonies & stay in jail forever - on the books in all states?

I think that just in California. Not sure though.

about half of the states do, MD isn't one of them.

How about "Creepy at the Least?"

How about "Creepy at the Least?"
I stand corrected.

Its late.. I'm Tired....time for bed :thumbs:

How about "Creepy at the Least?"
I agree with you, Shilohproject.

Isn't there a law - convicted of 3 felonies & stay in jail forever - on the books in all states?

It is called Habitual Offender in Florida. First, you must be charged with this by the States Attorney's office. If convicted you get 25 yrs. to life.

Of course it would be fine with me to hang this guy by his privates with fish hooks and placed over burning cat poop.

So there ARE times when its OK to toss the Constitution out the window? But only when YOU want to.

I agree. pedophiles and sex offenders should be executed

I agree with Trav on this one. (OMG! ;) ) Convicted murderers, pedophiles, and repeat sex offenders should be put to death.

So there ARE times when its OK to toss the Constitution out the window? But only when YOU want to.

Not at all. Death penalty use is decided by the states - not by the Constitution - and Maryland is a death penalty state. Should he be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt at trial (something the Constitution grants him, and something I completely agree with), I think the death penalty is a proper punishment.

What I would change is the appeals process (is this decided by the state or the Constitution? Anyone?). In DNA cases where guilt is proven beyond any reasonable doubt; no appeals, just a short walk behind the courthouse and so long, Charlie. In all other cases, five appeals or five years, whatever comes first. The minute you run out of time or appeals, once again, a short walk behind the courthouse and bon voyage, have a nice trip. See ya later, bye.

Fannie, none of that sounds like the posters even want a trial, at least none were mentioned. Thats what I ment by tossing the Constitution. But I guess some criminals deserve different standards, of treatment, than others.
I mean how many of these posters would call for the same treatment of a person caught after killing 4 people? (Think TOOKIE WILLIAMS)

One additional thought on this subject.

Since the death penalty is a State issue, maybe all these liberal groups should stop running to Federal judges to stop executions, and said Federal judges should refer all such suits back to the State courts. After all, if the death penalty is not a constitutional issue, the feds have no jurisdiction.

[B]After all, if the death penalty is not a constitutional issue, the feds have no jurisdiction.

Any death penalty case heard by a federal court is heard because the plaintiff has raised Constitutional questions about some aspect of the case or the punishment. The US Constitution guarantees us the right to a speedy trial, to confront witnesses against us, the right not to be forced to testify against ourselves, and several others. Often death penalty cases are taken through the courts because it can be argued that the method of execution is "cruel and unusual". In short, there's any number of reasons for the federal courts to get involved.

BULL ... I'll have you know that was one of the REAL sticking
points behind The Duke Rape Case amd Nifong's cavalier attitude.
Nifong knew N.Carolina doesn't use a " speedy trial " format,and
thus was able to stall,and delay and Hide,until he felt good and
ready to take the case forward.But since he dug himself in,accomplished
his mission of getting Re-elected on the basis of being a perceived
tough DA who wasn't gonna tolerate Racial inSpamSpamSpamSpamSpamSpam,and managed
the exact Opposite.Was OUTTED as a corrupt,complicit
Liar and manipulator,willing to sacrifice White Boys to make
headlines and keep his job.

I'm not the one who said the death penalty was a State issue. You're preaching to the choir.

I guess you have never restated a statement, made by another, when replying to it. I'll remember that. And I'm sorry you can't comprehend something so simple. Especially if you read the whole thread.

Wow.

Most people with a 3 digit I.Q. spell that particular word--


.............enjoy.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

What?

That doesn't apply here.

Ok.

basically that guy should be executed - no ifs or buts - he should be taken immediately to the nearest electric chair and fried.

The guy is just going to re-offend and to do anything else is a waste of tax payer money.

Condescension doesn't become you, moderate. Coming from you it's just misplaced.
What is it with conservatives and ridiculously misplaced condescension?

Hm. Maybe he just has a really small penis.

Well, I typically don't tell someone, "I'm sorry you can't comprehend something so simple" when engaged in "conversation". Perhaps it's your conversational skills that are the problem. :)

Exactly. Not that I support 5+ years of appeals, but our system (e.g. federal government ensures that the Constitution is followed) seems to require at least one chance to appeal in federal court.

What's wrong with " Insults ". ? That's a part of life.
Those who can't deal with harsh criticism or corrective criticism
often end up Unemployed and sitting on a park bench with a
brown paper bag.

Moderate, are you saying that Vilepagan can't express his opinions as a normal poster? He never told you that you broke a rule or warned you. He was just, like Nappy said, making a character judgment.

I agree. pedophiles and sex offenders should be executed

This is a topic really hard for me to read...I am a person that the system failed and because of that I was hurt by someone very badly.

I feel that ANY sexual predator/offender should have there nuts ripped off then dipped in iodine and left to rot. Executing them is a country club experience for them.
It is the victims that are left to pick up the pieces and try to carry on.
My predator has gone unpunished and now that I am an adult it is still something that haunts me every day and causes me to do stupid stuff in my life....I have men trust issues and I have worked really hard to try and over come them.

[QUOTE]pedophiles and sex offenders should be executed[QUOTE/]

Well, if we're going to make these people eligible for the death penalty, lets add drug dealers, muggers, and lying politicians to the list as well.

Do you ever stop to think the impact these perversions on nature have on people. You have the balls to lump them in to these other categories. These people ruin and change peoples lives forever..it is not crack addiction (curable) a mugger (traumatic but deal-able) and lying politician (stay away and don't vote for them)
A pedophile rocks you to the core of your existence. The strip you of emotional and physical emotions.
Wow I guess your priorities are not that of mine...Each to there own. I hope you or none of your loved ones are touched or hurt by a pedophile and if so then talk to me about how you feel about the death sentence these parasites deserve.

Thats right our priorities are different. I believe the only people deserving of the death penalty are those who have unlawfully killed another person.
I also believe those convicted killers should be executed within two (2) years of their conviction.

I'm sorry if you have been abused by someone, but that doesn't mean your abuser deserves to be executed. My feeling on the subject might be different, if you were my grand daughter, but I would hope not.

Well I will agree to disagree and hope you never have to be in my situation or have your loved one in it either.
You said only people whom Unlawfully kill should be executed...ok well to me the person whom did what they did to me did kill me inside. Physically and emotionally. That is a really grey area...

Why do you feel they deserve two years to live if they killed some one..??

Hi moderate. I am in agreement with you, those who have unlawfully killed should be executed shorty after their crime, not 20 or more years later.
I know posters here will argue over their [the killers] innocence, but in cases where there is no doubt of guilt, I support an early execution.

I am not speaking for shortstuff, but I do think she is implying a pedophile is guilty of killing the innocence of a child, one of the most precious things in the world.
In cases of a repeat offender, like the one listed in the original post, I would support an early death also.

A pedophile is not the only one who "kills the innocence" of another. The loss of innocence can be treated, and overcome by most victims. Repeat offenders deserve to be incarcerated, maybe for life, but not executed. Execution should be reserved for those who unlawfully kill, period.

Yeah it is treatable but can never be given back. That is the same if he had killed me out right. It would have been less traumatic form me and for so many other people I have met that this has happen to them.

Chey; Thanks that is what I was saying.

Moderate; You can never truly understand unless this was done or had been done to some one you loved and cherished. You can preach that all you want, but spend a day in what was my hell and tell me how you felt. You can't and I hope you never had to. When it came down to it I did try and take his life but couldn't so I tried to take mine and stop the pain... I wish I could have been stronger.

So "nappy" go get your changed, your ripe.
He's like one of those coin operated fortune tellers, only instead of useless fortunes, you get pathetic insults! Was your great grandma a gypsy?

Using your logic we should execute all drug dealers and all mothers who give birth to drug addicted babies. They too have caused great harm to an innocent, who may or may not get over it. Sorry, I'm just not blood thirsty enough to go along with any of that.

yeah well tell me that after you have had your love one hurt in a way that you watch them change before your eyes and there is nothing you can do to save them. Yeah you failed to save them....Then come back and talk to me about your opinion.

Like I said we will agree to disagree....You aren't going to change my mind and you can't see anything but your way..end of it.

Forget repeat offenders, we shouldn't even have repeat offenders - when it comes to kids, one offence of killing or abusing a child should be repaid with a quick walk to the firing squad.

Want to make a child molester think twice? Hang offenders on the median in the highway & let their bloated corpse hang there for a week in the sun. In addition - all assets of their immediate family should be taken. Of course - many think that is too brutal, these molesters should be "understood", should be "helped". Fuck that shit - you molest or kill a kid then a quick execution is the only solution & message to other potential criminals.

When it comes to kids - we could put a stop to 95% of child molestations / murders if the punishment was very very severe.

I so support what you are saying Drew.
I wonder as an adult how many others have been hurt because of being to scared or intimidated to step up and say stop.
I blamed myself for many years...that I did something to deserve that.
I DIDN'T i know that now, but at the time it almost cost me my life.
That is a price I never want any child to have to face or go through.
