Marion County Woman Sentenced To 32 Years For Sexual Abuse - 10/09/25

State of Oregon v. Monica Weber

Marion County Circuit Court Case 24CR24457 and 24CR57520

Woman Sentenced to 32 years in Marion County Sexual Abuse Case

 

Salem, OR – October 8, 2025 – The Honorable Circuit Court Judge Jodie Bureta sentenced Monica Weber, 41, to 32 years in the Department of Corrections and a lifetime of post-prison supervision after she pled guilty to two counts of Using a Child in Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct, one count of Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the First Degree, one count of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, and four counts of Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree.

 

The defendant was known to the victim and held a position of authority in the victim’s life.  Over the course of nearly a decade, the defendant repeatedly sexually abused the victim beginning around age seven and continuing until age sixteen. Furthermore, she shared photographs of her abusive behavior with men she met online and through dating applications.

 

Under a provision of Oregon law known as "Jessica’s Law" (2006), anyone convicted of a first-degree sexual offense committed against a child under the age of 12 must serve a minimum of 25 years in prison.

 

“This case represents the worst kind of betrayal, a child being abused by someone they should have been able to trust,” said Deputy District Attorney Paige Clarkson. “The victim in this case showed incredible courage in coming forward and sharing their story.”

 

The victim was initially hesitant to provide information to investigators.  However, through the professional, thorough and delicate nature of the work done by Liberty House the victim ultimately disclosed the long-standing abuse.   In addition, Detective Scott Diehl of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office should be acknowledged for his outstanding investigation.  The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorneys Meghan Kamps and Katharine Semple.

 

Because the victim is a minor, no further information nor identifying information will be released.
