The Anchorage musician accused of sexually abusing a minor may have caused more victims, police say

Anchorage police have arrested a local musician accused of sexually assaulting a minor about two years ago. Anchorage police say he may have more victims

Marcus Mewborn, 29, was charged last week with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor, plus one count of unlawful exploitation of a minor and possession of child pornography, a police statement said.

Police say the charges stem from a months-long investigation by the department’s Crimes Against Children Unit. In an indictment against Mewborn handed down Thursday by a grand jury, the alleged abuse involved a teenage girl and occurred from August 2022 to March 2023.

“Mewborn worked as a rapper and DJ where he had access to teenage girls,” police said in the statement. “Detectives are concerned there may be more victims.”

Mewborn’s stage name was “DJ Marco,” and some people knew him as “Mac,” police spokeswoman Renee Oistad said.

“The first indications are that he mainly did temporary work and also worked as a DJ,” said Oistad.

Mewborn is being held at the Anchorage Correctional Complex.

Police are asking anyone who believes they have been victimized by Mewborn to contact Detective Daniel Koch at 907-786-2477 or [email protected].
