Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer has filed special circumstance murder charges against a man accused of abducting, sexually assaulting, and killing two boys in the 1980s in Southern California, after newly implemented directives from Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon forced L.A. prosecutors to dismiss the special circumstances and enhancements in the multiple murder prosecution.
Kenneth Kasten Rasmuson, 59, from Sandpoint, Idaho, is currently being charged in the death of “Jeffrey Doe” by the Los Angeles County DA’s Office. Rasmuson is accused of abducting a 6-year-old boy from his Anaheim Hills neighborhood, sexually assaulting him, and then killing him in 1981. Additionally, he is charged for the same acts with a second 6-year-old boy five years after.
