OREGON CITY -- A youth soccer coach has been charged with accusations of child sex abuse after police seized his personal computer.
Parrish Leland Chang Sr., was indicted by a grand jury on Oct. 19th on five counts each of first-degree and second-degree encouraging child sexual abuse, according to Lt. Jim Band. Investigators said he had more than 100 pornographic videos of children on his personal computer.
"We would like to know if there are any victims out there," Band said, "We have no reason to believe Chang has directly victimized children in the community, but are concerned about the possibility because of what was found on his computer."
Police served a search warrant Aug. 12th at this home and a forensic computer analyst looked through his computer. His name came up in June when police were scouring advertising of file-sharing networks for child porn.
Court documents obtained by KGW said that the computer files were titled with names including "Little Boy," "4-year-old Girl," and "11-year-old Girl Raped."
Chang was arrested on Monday, when he told police that he had retired from coaching youth soccer, but investigators have learned that he had been coaching til the day of his arrest, Band said.
Chang coached for Oregon City Community Schools and the Soccer Center in Clackamas. Those organizations have been told of the arrest.
"People who have this kind of interest in children usually have a target where they are attracted to a certain age group and that age group also happens to be the same age group that he coaches in soccer," Band said.
Anyone with information about Chang was asked to call Oregon City police at (503) 657-4964.
Chang's Facebook and MySpace pages portray him as a family man with a wife and kids.
His bail was set at $50,000.
