Portland resident Christopher Michael Scott was arrested today, Wednesday, Nov. 18, on accusations of illegal contact with a 13-year-old Gresham girl.
Gresham police detectives said Scott first contacted the girl in August on MeetMe.com, a social networking site where people connect and engage in online dating.
Scott is a 22-year-old registered sex offender, police said, but on MeetMe.com claimed to be a 16-year-old boy from Portland named Jake Wolf.
Scott is accused of sending sexually explicit photographs of himself to the girl and asking her to send similar photographs in return. He is also accused of trying to arrange an in-person meeting with her.

Scott’s alleged illegal contact was discovered by the 13-year-old’s mother, who saw some of his messages on one of the family’s electronic devices. She immediately talked with her daughter about the communications and contacted police.
Scott is lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center, accused of second-degree online sexual corruption of a child, attempted use of a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, and luring a minor.
Detectives say they believe Scott may have engaged in similar conduct with other children in the Portland metro area.
Police are asking anyone who believes that Scott has had illegal contact with them or their child to call Gresham police at 503-618-2719.
