In spring of 2026, Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office's Special Investigations Unit initiated an investigation into online child sexual exploitation crimes that occurred in rural Willamina, Oregon. Detectives determined that in February of 2026, Jeremy Lee Tish allegedly contacted a minor for the purposes of sexual exploitation. 
 

On August 10, 2026, deputies located and arrested Tish outside of Willamina. He was booked into the Yamhill County Correctional Facility where he was held on Luring a Minor (ORS 167.057) and Attempted Using a Child in Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct (ORS 163.670).
 

During the investigation, detectives learned that Tish has potentially been involved in Future Farmers of America events in the Polk County area and may have had additional online contact with minors.
 

Due to the nature of the allegations and his possible online access to minors, investigators are concerned there may be additional victims.
 

Anyone with information related to this case, or other potential incidents involving Jeremy Tish, is urged to contact Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office's Special Investigations Unit at (503) 474-4920 (Det. Z. Rodriguez) and reference case 26YC0694.
 

In accordance with Oregon House Bill 3273, the Sheriff’s Office is releasing Tish’s booking photo to assist in identifying any additional criminal activity.
