DA: After cop gives talk at Portland school, girl confides she’s been raped

The girl listened to Portland police officer Heidi Kreis talk about sexual harassment at her school three weeks ago.

Afterward, she confided in the officer that she’d been a victim of unwanted touching for years: A man had been groping her buttocks and breasts -- and he was still at it, she said.

That information led police to interview Jonathon Paul Rogers, 33, on Dec. 19. He admitted to sexually abusing the girls and wrote an apology letter, according to a probable-cause affidavit. Police arrested and booked him into jail later that day.

A grand jury indicted Rogers on 11 counts of first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and other charges. Under Jessica’s Law, which is meant to punish offenders who commit certain sex crimes against children under age 12, Rogers would face a minimum 25 years in prison upon conviction. But with consecutive sentences for each count, he could end up being sentenced to 100 years or more.
