WASHINGTON COUNTY, OR (KPTV) –
A volunteer at Vancouver churches, as well as a child abuse prevention organization, is accused of sexually abusing young girls in northwest Portland.
Christopher Gonzales, 44, of Vancouver, was arrested Sunday.
On Saturday, Washington County deputies responded to a home in the Bonny Slope community to investigate a complaint that Gonzales had inappropriate sexual contact with a girl.
Investigators said he had visited the home in question many times. The reported abuse began in 2008 and continued over the course of several years, deputies said.
The abuse has been confirmed with three different girls as young as 5 years old, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office reports.
