Anthony Kronus Swift charged with four separate rapes

Today, Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill announced the filing of a 12-count indictment against 50-year-old Anthony Kronus Swift for allegedly raping and sexually abusing four separate women.

This was a multi-jurisdictional investigation involving the Portland Police Bureau, Multnomah County Sherriff’s Office and law enforcement assigned to the East Metro Gang Enforcement Team.

Swift is charged with four counts of rape in the first degree, four counts of sexual abuse in the first degree and four counts of sexual abuse in the second degree.

According to the indictment, the rape and sexual abuse of all four victims occurred in Multnomah County in separate locations, and on separate dates between June and December 2019.

All of the alleged rapes involved victims who were incapable of consent, according to the indictment. It is further alleged that Swift used forcible compulsion to commit two of the rapes.

Law enforcement located and arrested Swift in the 12700 block of Southeast Powell Boulevard in Portland, Oregon at approximately 4 p.m. on January 30, 2020 and took him into custody.

According to prior court hearings, Swift was a co-founder of the Krude Rude Brood.

Like in all criminal and civil matters, electronic copies of court documents, which are not subject to a protective order, are available to the public through the Oregon eCourt Information (OECI) system.

No additional information can be released by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office at this time pursuant to the Oregon Rules of Professional Conduct.

A charging document is only an accusation of a crime. Swift is innocent unless and until proven guilty.

This case is being prosecuted by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office Strategic Prosecution and Services Unit, which reviews cases that stem from neighborhood-specific concerns. The unit is primarily responsible for interfacing with the community over specific issues, and handles all types of cases across the criminal justice spectrum to include misdemeanors and homicides.
