Man jailed for child abuse after cop’s school talk prompts girl to come forward and reveal sex assault
A MAN has been jailed for child abuse after a police officer's school talk prompted a girl to come forward and reveal she was sexually assaulted.
Jonathan Paul Rogers - of Portland, Oregon - was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday for sexually abusing two children, according to Oregon Live.
"The girls suffer long-term psychological effects and will require years of help to just learn to be okay. They have spent the past 15 months in constant fear that somehow he would come back.
"Despite all reassurances that such a thing will not happen. No child should live with such a worry. No child should be put through what they have gone through.
"This nightmare lives with them every day. No amount of prison time will be enough to give them back the years they suffered at Jon’s hands.”
Rogers has been convicted of first-degree sodomy, first-degree sexual abuse, and first-degree attempted unlawful sexual penetration, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office.
