The Portland Police Bureau is asking for the public’s help in locating a man who exposed himself to a female jogger on the Springwater Corridor.

On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at approximately 10:30 a.m., East Precinct officers responded to reports of a sex offense in the area of Southeast Johnson Creek Boulevard and Southeast Brookside Drive. When they arrived, officers made contact with an adult female who reported an inappropriate and threatening encounter on the nearby Springwater Corridor earlier in the morning. The woman told officers she was jogging when a man on a bicycle passed her and jumped into the bushes further up the trail. According to the woman, as she approached the area, the man emerged from the bushes naked and with his hand on his genitals and he tried grabbing her. The woman managed to get away from the man and run for help.

Responding officers conducted a thorough search of the area, but they were unable to locate the suspect. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his 30s, about 5’8”, with a shaved head. He was wearing all black clothing and riding a bicycle with two backpacks.

Anyone with information about this incident, or the whereabouts of the suspect, is urged to contact Acting Detective Consider Vosu at consider.vosu@police.portlandoregon.gov, Officer Benjamin Forsyth at Benjamin.Forsyth@police.portlandoregon.gov or Officer David Kemple at David.Kemple@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference case number 24-225143.
