PORTLAND — Portland police have arrested a man on sex abuse charges in connection with a 2010 sexual assault that was reported by a 21-year-old victim this spring.

Police said Friday that 27-year-old Wesley Zhang first contacted the woman in 2006, when she was 11, using an online video game.

The girl lived in Washington state at the time, but Zhang sexually abused her by phone and over Skype when she turned 14.

The following year, police say, he lured her to Oregon and sexually assaulted her.

Zhang was arrested Thursday and booked into the Multnomah County Jail on one count of second-degree sex abuse and three counts of luring a minor.

Zhang used the online aliases “Furclaw” and “David Cole.”

Police believe there may be other victims.
