GARIBALDI, Ore. (AP) — Police arrested a registered sex offender from Garibaldi who is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl he met by way of the Internet.
Derek Ellwood was taken into custody at work in the coastal town and has been lodged in the Tillamook County Jail.
The Oregon State Police says the 43-year-old is charged with luring a minor and first-degree online sexual corruption of a child.
The OSP says Ellwood has a 1989 conviction for third-degree rape.
Police believe there may be other victims, as the investigation indicates the man has traveled in the past months to Deschutes and Klamath counties.
