A Wasilla man has been charged with sexual abuse of a minor after Anchorage police said he molested a 15-year-old male.

Mitchell "Mitch" Hull, 50, was in court yesterday facing counts of second degree sexual assault and sexual abuse of a minor.

According to court records, Hull molested two brothers, but only faces charges for the 15-year-old while other charges remain under investigation.

Detectives said Hull met the boy at a hockey event last summer. After befriending them, Hull would routinely give him and his friends rides, inviting them to his cabin in Wasilla. 

There, he provided them with alcohol and marijuana.

Police say the sexual abuse began in January, when Hull tried to touch the boy in his truck after offering him a ride home.

When it happened again several weeks later, the boy went to the police, and Hull is now being held without bail following a pre-indictment hearing yesterday.
 
The case isn’t over, though.
 
Detectives from the police department’s Special Victim’s Unit said they believe there are more victims who have not come forward.
 
APD encourages anyone with information about the case to contact Detective Bianca Cross at 786-2438

go figure, really this happens all the time and the AK Court System lets things fall through the small cracks that should not be ignored thats one of the reasons that these "pervs" keep getting away with this kind of stuff, over and over again

Is Alaska a haven for child molesters? You seem to have more than your share.

flay, salt and bait for sharks the lot of em...until an example is made to make pedophiles and rapists fear the consequences of the crime... perhaps castration, or death by your peers...it will not make a difference..ever

Alaska is the least populated in the USA... Alaska is the highest in revenue in the USA... Alaska is the worst in sexual abuse in the USA. Do the math and ask why is this happening???

Maybe it is up to you and me to what happens to these preditors, instead of leaving it in the hands of the fools called the injustice system? The system protects these monsters, I WON'T! WILL YOU?
