THE FACTS:

In case 26CR00955, the defendant met a 14-year-old girl on Snapchat and started a relationship with her where he began being verbally aggressive, manipulative, and controlling. He eventually raped her and sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions. There were also multiple instances where he would facetime her and threatened to kill himself if she didn’t perform sexual acts on camera for him. He recorded those acts and they were later found on his phone.

In case 25CR67789, the defendant met a 15-year-old outside Portland’s Central Library. The teen had run away from home. She told police she was living on the streets for the past three weeks and he offered her a safe place to sleep in exchange for sex. He also threatened to kill her if she didn’t comply with his requests. The victim told investigators that despite her pleas for him to stop, the sexual abuse continued for three days until she was able to flee while the two were again at the Central Library.

In case 26CR00959, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a Cybertip that the defendant was uploading child sexual abuse material. Investigators found that the defendant was buying and trading child sex abuse material continuously on various social media and digital platforms. Investigators found 33 child sex abuse videos on the defendant’s phone.

In case 25CR65612, the defendant was charged with DUII after he drove into the back of another vehicle. His blood-alcohol level was .17, twice the legal limit.

In case 26CR33350, the defendant got into a fight with someone in jail.
