Salem, OR – Salem police are seeking the public’s help in identifying potential additional victims after a local man was charged with multiple sex crimes involving three girls between the ages of 12 and 17.
The suspect, whose identity has not been released pending further investigation, was arrested earlier this month after authorities were alerted to the allegations. According to police, the charges stem from incidents that occurred over an unspecified period, with the victims reportedly coming forward after the abuse was discovered.
Detectives with the Salem Police Department are now asking anyone with information related to the case or any individuals who may have been victimized to come forward. Investigators are particularly concerned that there may be other victims who have yet to report the abuse.
“We are urging anyone who may have been affected to reach out to law enforcement,” said Lieutenant Sarah Lopez, a spokesperson for the Salem Police Department. “Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of the victims, and we are committed to ensuring that justice is served.”
The case has sparked concern within the local community, and authorities are working diligently to prevent further harm. In addition to the ongoing investigation, the police department has urged parents to be vigilant and to talk with their children about personal safety.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Salem Police Department or to reach out to local crime tip lines. Authorities have assured the public that all information will be handled confidentially.
As the investigation continues, Salem police are determined to uncover the full extent of the alleged crimes and hold the responsible individual accountable for their actions.
