SAN RAFAEL, Calif. AP – The days before he was arrested for beating his ex-girlfriend to death and kidnapping their daughter brought a string of bad news to James “Rafe” Mitchell, the son of late San Francisco pornography mogul Jim Mitchell.
Last Tuesday, he was ordered to attend a yearlong rehabilitation program for domestic batterers. On Friday, his girlfriend’s lawyer wrote to let him know that a judge had permanently granted Danielle Keller’s request for sole custody of their child and a restraining order prohibiting him from contacting her.
