PORTLAND, Ore. — A Vancouver man was arrested on several sex abuse charges Sunday. Detectives fear he may have abused more victims through his volunteer work at two churches and a child abuse prevention center.
Police were called to a home in the Bonny Slope neighborhood Saturday to investigate reports of ongoing sexual abuse dating back to 2008, said Sgt. Bob Ray of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
A family member accused 44-year-old Christopher Joseph Gonzales of sexual contact with girls as young as 5 years old at a family member’s house.
Investigators learned that Gonzales had been a youth volunteer at Vancouver’s Crossroads Community Church from 2010-2014 and Freedom Community Church from early 2014 until recently, Ray said.
