Kern Valley Sun
Kern County Sheriff Sgt. Dean Marshall, of the Kern Valley Substation, issued a statement Monday morning confirming the department, “is currently investigating a sexual assault that occurred approximately two weeks ago.
“This investigation is ongoing and has been assigned to Sr. Deputy Scott Lopez,” Marshal said. “Over the past several days, rumors of a serial rapist have been circulating on social networking websites. These rumors are being generated by the public and are being spread throughout the Kern River Valley and elsewhere. Furthermore, there is a photograph that has been posted identifying a suspected rapist. At this point in our investigation, a suspect has not been determined,” Marshall said.

Marshall described an additional rumor that had surfaced over the weekend stating a young female was sexually assaulted, stabbed and her body dumped into the Borel Canal. “The Kern County Sheriff’s Office has investigated and found nothing to substantiate this rumor,” he said.
Anyone with information about this ongoing sexual assault investigation is urged to call Sr. Deputy Scott Lopez at 760-549-2100.
