In 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice funded a report on child trafficking that revealed that Portland, Oregon is one of the national hubs for child sex trafficking. The goals of this thesis are to investigate the web of characteristics of larger Portland metropolitan area that have contributed to the high prevalence of sexual exploitation of women and children. This research is aimed to close the gap in our understanding of the extent and nature of Portland’s local sex trafficking trade. An exploration of Portland’s location and culture, especially its placement on the I-5 corridor, libertine sex culture, and the prevalence of legal and illegal sex businesses, allows us to start to understand the contributing factors of sexual exploitation in the Portland community.

Former Governor of Oregon sexually abuses young girl while serving as Portland Mayor. Woman dies prematurely as a result (and somewhere in between, she’s mysteriously kidnapped, later on in Seattle, and brutally raped… very suspiciously - I might add.) The Toxic Legacy of Neil Goldschmidt Lives On by Dan Lucas, January 28, 2015 "Based on what a woman named Elizabeth told the Oregonian's Margie Boulé, it was 40 years ago this month that then-Portland Mayor Neil Goldschmidt began sexually abusing her. She was 13 and Goldschmidt was 35. Elizabeth told Boulé that Goldschmidt began grooming behavior with her when she was just 7 or 8, and that Goldschmidt's serial abuse and subsequent toxic relationship went on for an additional 14 years. Elizabeth died four years ago this month.
The abuse was brought to light in 2004 by Nigel Jaquiss at Willamette Week, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting." https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/opinion/2015/01/28/toxic-legacy-neil-goldschmidt/22487735/ The New Republic's New Owner Covered Up the Fact That Oregon's Governor Was a Rapist "The news last week was that The New Republic had been sold. After the magazine's turbulent tenure under Facebook mogul Chris Hughes, it was purchased by Win McCormack, an Oregon resident. At first glance this seems like a good fit. McCormack co-founded Mother Jones, another liberal publication, and has a lot of experience both in publishing and Democratic activism.Yet McCormack has a bit of an unsavory past.
Here's the backstory: In the 1970s, Portland, Oregon, mayor Neil Goldschmidt started sleeping with his kids' babysitter. She was 14 when it started. It didn't become public, but it also wasn't a well-guarded secret. Goldschmidt took her to parties with other power brokers in the state, but no one said anything. As Multnomah County Sheriff Bernie Giusto put it, "You could argue that I had an ethical responsibility to do something." Goldschmidt went on to be Carter's secretary of transportation and was elected governor of Oregon in 1986. In 1990, Goldschmidt stunned Oregon when he announced that he wasn't running for a second term. That Goldschmidt raped a babysitter didn't become public until 14 years later later in the wake of a scandal involving Goldschmidt and his lobbying clients, as well as some dogged Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting from Willamette Week that brought it to light. They were referred to as the " light rail mafia" because Goldschmidt was exploiting all of the transportation rules and development restrictions that he himself had put in place when he was in office. The story was that Goldschmidt's victim had threatened to go public and one of the conditions of the settlement was that he would leave public life. So he became the state's top lobbyist, not that the move would necessarily prevent him from doing less political damage.

2018 HEADLINES: $100M Lawsuit Alleges Oregon Government Covered Up Foster-child Abuse $100M lawsuit alleges foster child abuse cover-up by Oregon DHS / by Gabrielle Karol KOIN 6 (April 30, 2018) https://youtu.be/P_yf9Qjw77k “A $100 million lawsuit accuses Oregon's Department of Human Services (DHS) of overlooking physical and sexual abuse of foster children living in a Marion County foster home – and then trying to cover up the agency's own failures to prevent that abuse.” “The foster father in this case, Casey Ray Miller, was given a 30-year sentence in September for sodomizing one of the foster children in his care. Previously, he had been found guilty of first-degree criminal mistreatment, after it was discovered that he had broken seven bones of a 10-month-old girl in his care.” "What we're alleging is that, in this case, when the agency became, frankly, aware of abuse, the agency took upon itself to investigate the conduct leading to abuse and ultimately fed into what we are alleging was a cover-up." -- Attorney Steve Rizzo
"These people were not fit. They were not even financially independent. They had serious health concerns, both mental and physical," Rizzo said. "They never should have been put in charge of children." DHS is also being accused of seeking to cover up its own wrongdoing, as it pertains to the 10-month-old abuse victim. The lawsuit says that after Miller admitted to abusing the infant, DHS sought a "self-serving" diagnosis of brittle bone disease for the girl – a diagnosis that Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) did not deem accurate after examination. With the lawsuit, the plaintiffs are seeking to have the courts forbid the state agency from certifying non-relative foster parents who don't have the financial resources to care for foster children outside of the state's foster care payments. The plaintiffs are also seeking to stop DHS from conducting investigations of child abuse that happen in the state's foster care program, claiming that it is a conflict of interest. The lawsuit also asks to have the agency fire the DHS employees who participated in the alleged cover-up.” Print version: https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/100m-lawsuit-alleges-foster-child-abuse-cover-up-by-oregon-dhs/1152115975 [$100M] Lawsuit: Oregon DHS Covered Up, Ignored Keizer Couple's Abuse of Foster Children by Whitney Woodworth, Statesman Journal, Updated May 1, 2018 https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/crime/2018/05/01/lawsuit-dhs-covered-up-ignored-keizer-couples-abuse-foster-children/569017002/ $15M Lawsuit Claims Oregon Government Knew Teen Had History of Sexual Abuse $15M Lawsuit: DHS Placement Led to Girls' Sex Abuse KOIN 6, September 3, 2018 https://youtu.be/BLTZIG-1epI Lawsuit: DHS Negligence Leads to Girls' Sex Abuse by Brenna Kelly / KPTV Fox 12 September 3, 2018 "The guardian for two young sisters is suing the state, calling the Department of Human Services negligent for allowing the girls to live with a sexually abusive teen.The $15 million lawsuit filed in Multnomah County Friday claims the state knew the 13-year-old boy had a history of sexual abuse.

A Year Later, Oregon's Foster Care System Is Still a Horror Show by Jeff Reynolds, June 29, 2017 "...The bubbling crisis put pressure on Governor Brown to take some sort of action. A consulting firm she hired produced a very disturbing report that showed that Oregon's foster children are abused at double the national rate, reporting was haphazard, and investigations were shoddy at best." Statistics compiled between November 18, 2016 – June 1, 2017:
More than 130 foster children were housed in hotel rooms or office buildings
Foster children lodged in such temporary housing are often supervised by unlicensed volunteer caretakers
One 5-year-old stayed in a hotel for 55 days
Many of the children in such temporary housing were 5 or younger
One girl tried to throw herself out of a hotel window; another boy locked himself in the hotel room away from caretakers

It’s easy to classify someone with a long list of complaints as a rabble-rouser, a troublemaker, or just plain disgruntled. Three former employees of the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) have decided to go public with the information that they have. Tim Hall, Kurt Teegarden, and Ken Ross have very little to gain from speaking out. They each have lost their jobs and will have a hard time finding work in another correctional facility due to the various reasons for their ultimate separation from the OYA. There are hundreds of pages of documentation to back up the various claims that they make. They’ve also made many attempts at trying to get the word to OYA management, to the governor, and the SEIU leadership.
