PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland man faces 75 counts of child sex abuse and porn charges and detectives think there could be more victims.

Police arrested 46-year-old David Feathers on March 5. He was indicted Tuesday on 75 counts, including encouraging child sex abuse, rape and using a child in a sexual display. A trial was set for April 27 and Feathers was held on $8,300,000 bail.

Thirty one of the counts are Measure 11 crimes with mandatory minimum prison sentences, according to Oregon Attorney General John Kroger.

Investigators uncovered evidence after obtaining a search warrant at Feathers' Molalla home and also where he works in Portland.

The multi-agency investigation includes the Multnomah county child abuse team and also the Multnomah County District Attorney's office.


One of the victims was a 13-year-old girl. Anyone with information in the case was asked to call police.
