Narrative:

During the last week, the Bend Police Department Patrol Division and Investigations Division received information regarding an alleged sex abuse that had been occurring in the City of Bend.   

This investigation revealed Keaneu Evert Riley, 25 years of age, was sexually abusing and having sexual intercourse with a minor victim.  Additional evidence showed Riley had been sexually abusing this minor over the last few months in the City of Bend.  On at least one occasion, Riley is alleged to have provided the minor with methamphetamine prior to the sexual abuse.  The investigation culminated with detectives corroborating the details of the allegation.

On the morning of March 20th, 2019, Riley was taken into custody at the Deschutes County Parole and Probation Office and later lodged at the Deschutes County Adult Jail on the above listed charges.  A search warrant was also executed at Riley’s residence, an apartment in SE Bend, where additional items of evidentiary value were located.

The Bend Police Department Investigations Division believes through the course of this investigation there could be at least two more minor victims and are actively working on identifying these victims.  This investigation is on-going and additional information may be released at a later time.
