Detentions Deputy Margarita Young Accused of Having Sex with Murderer

A Kern County Sheriff's Office detentions deputy is accused of having sex with an infamous murderer.

Deputy Margarita Young, an 11-year veteran of the department, was arrested Monday afternoon and booked into the central receiving facility. She was being held on $10,000 bail.

She allegedly had a consensual sexual relationship with Timothy Titus Rodriguez at the Lerdo Pre-Trial Facility. Rodriguez was sentenced to death last week for killing 90-year-old Thelma Long and beating her 59-year-old daughter, Cathryn Reeves, in 2007 over a dispute about the amount of money he was paid to do odd jobs around their house.

The investigation into Young's alleged actions began in November, the same month Rodriguez was convicted. Young has been on administrative leave since then.

Rodriguez has been transferred to San Quentin's death row.
