EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A discovery of inappropriate text messages on a 14-year-old girl’s cell phone led police to arrest a 25-year-old Eugene man on rape charges.
The Eugene Register-Guard reports that (http://bit.ly/xIJE97) parents uncovered the texts then promptly called police, which launched an investigation.
Officers arrested Jeremy Gene Kautz on 21 counts each of third-degree rape, third-degree sexual abuse and contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor.
He also faces charges of using a child in the display of sexually explicit conduct, among other charges.
Police say their investigation led them to a second 14-year-old girl.
