Suspect Indicted and Arrested for Child Pornography Charges
July 31, 2026
In February of 2026, the Sherwood Police Investigations Unit received multiple cyber tips from The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) and the Oregon Department of Justice (Oregon DOJ) with information that someone within our jurisdiction had accessed and uploaded suspected child pornography. Investigators began an investigation and identified the suspect as 22-year-old Kodiac Bergeron of Sherwood. Investigators subsequently obtained search warrants for Bergeron’s online accounts, residence, and electronic devices. During the execution of those warrants, investigators located numerous images and videos depicting child sexual abuse material.
On July 22nd, 2026, a Washington County Grand Jury indicated Mr. Bergeron on the following charges:
ORS 163.684 Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree (10 Counts)
Following the indictment, a Washington County Circuit Court Judge issued a Secret Indictment Arrest Warrant. On July 29th, 2026, Sherwood investigators arrested Mr. Bergeron without incident, and he was lodged at the Washington County Jail where he remains in custody.
Child sexual abuse material cases are challenging to investigate and discuss, but they involve real victims who continue to be harmed each time these images or videos are possessed, shared, or viewed. The Sherwood Police Department’s Investigations Unit partners with the Oregon Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to investigate offenders who use the internet, online communications platforms, and other technology to sexually exploit children. Anyone with information regarding the sexual exploitation of children is encouraged to contact their local law enforcement agency or report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
The Sherwood Police Department would like to thank the Oregon Department of Justice and the Washington County District Attorney’s Office for their assistance with this case.
