A 39-year-old Portland man was arrested Wednesday on accusations of child sexual abuse.
Ronald Nelson Chandler faces first-degree charges of unlawful sexual penetration, sex abuse and encouraging child sex abuse. Police believe there may be more victims.
The investigation into Chandler began on Aug. 10 when officers responded to a Southeast Portland home on a report of child sex abuse and the possession of child pornography. The victim, who is now an adult, said the incidents occurred over a 10-year period, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson of Portland police.
On Aug. 18, detectives served a search warrant at Chandler’s home in the 14900 block of Southeast Division Street and seized several items of evidence.
Chandler’s juvenile children have been placed into protective custody, Simpson said.
Anyone with information about the case should call Detective Jeff Meyers at 503-823-0595.
