A Portland Police officer is accused of using his uniform to intimidate an autistic woman into having sex.

Jason Faulk has been on the force ten years working out of Portland's Central Precinct in the downtown area.

According to the 28-year-old autistic woman's attorney, Faulk showed up at her home after she called police about her son last June. The woman said Faulk kept returning to the home at night and had sex with the woman once in July and again in August.

The lawyer says officer Faulk was always in uniform and the woman felt she had no choice.

"I think in any case where you have an officer making sexual advances towards a woman who has the challenges she has, there's going to be an element of her feeling coerced," Attorney Beth Creighton said.

Creighton said surveillance video at a local drug store caught the officer buying the morning after pill for the woman.

"There's no doubt in my mind that she is a very vulnerable individual. She's very fragile. And if that fragility and vulnerability was taken advantage of by this officer, its a huge issue," Creighton said.

She said she wants to make sure the officer never does it to another victim.

Faulk has been on leave since September.

On Wednesday, a grand jury will decide on possible charges in the case.
