A 25-year-old Salem man, Eric Tyreak Gordon, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison after pleading guilty to a series of sex crimes involving teenagers, according to Marion County prosecutors. Investigators say the victims were between 14 and 15 years old. The sentence, issued Wednesday in Marion County Circuit Court in Salem, is a 264-month term in the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Case and charges
The Marion County District Attorney's Office said Gordon pleaded guilty to 10 counts that span a range of offenses. Those include using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct and failing to report as a sex offender. He also admitted to two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, three counts of third-degree sodomy, one count of third-degree rape and two counts of unlawful delivery of a marijuana item, as reported by KPTV.
Multnomah pleas and arrest
Court records show Gordon was arrested in April 2025 following an investigation into alleged abuse that spanned both Marion and Multnomah counties. He later entered guilty pleas in Multnomah County to related charges, including third-degree sodomy and third-degree rape, according to KOIN.
Sentence and next steps
Marion County Circuit Court Judge Jennifer Gardiner imposed the 264-month sentence on Wednesday and ordered Gordon to register as a sex offender when he is released, KPTV reported. The term, roughly 22 years in the Oregon Department of Corrections, includes court-ordered conditions tied to each of his convictions.
Prosecutor's statement
Paige Clarkson of the Marion County District Attorney's Office said the charges "reflect deeply troubling conduct" and that the office remains "committed to prosecuting crimes and safeguarding children," as quoted by KOIN. Prosecutors say the investigation identified victims between the ages of 14 and 15.
