Lt. Mike Eason of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office special investigations unit cites an ongoing case. He said Marvin Madkins was arrested in October 2008 after an alert motel security guard realized there was an unusual parade of men visiting one of the rooms. He discovered two girls, 16 and 15, who had been forced into prostitution by Madkins, Eason said.
