KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — A former Portland police officer has been accused of approaching girls in a Kennewick park and offering them money to perform sex acts.

The Tri-City Herald reports 35-year-old Ryan Graichen was charged Thursday in Benton County Superior Court with five counts of sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of a minor.

Prosecutors say he approached teens in Columbia Park last June and offered them money, alcohol and marijuana if they would go back to his house and be filmed while he performed a sex act.

Graichen resigned from the Portland police force in 2007 while under investigation for filming high school girls at dances and basketball games and zooming in on their private areas. He was a school resource officer at the time.
