Portland sex crimes detectives say a years-long investigation led to an arrest on July 2, and they are now urging anyone who may have been victimized to speak up. Police are asking people with information to contact detectives so they can identify any additional victims and witnesses.
What the bureau announced
In a press release shared via Portland Police, detectives said the probe stretched across multiple years and that "additional victims are being sought." Investigators are continuing to follow up on evidence developed during the long-running case and are encouraging anyone with information to reach out.
How to contact investigators
Anyone with information, or who believes they may have been a victim, is asked to call the Portland Police Bureau non-emergency line at 503-823-3333 or to check the bureau's contact page for media and detective contacts. For emergencies, call 911.
Why tips matter
Public tips can be crucial in long-running probes because they sometimes bring forward victims or witnesses who did not previously report abuse. As reported in a Portland birthday-night sex assault case, PPB has previously re-released images and public appeals to shake loose fresh information in older sexual-assault investigations.
PPB's Sex Crimes detectives say they will continue this investigation and coordinate with prosecutors as needed. Anyone with tips is urged to use the non-emergency number or consult the Portland Police Bureau contact page, and to call 911 for emergencies.
