GLIDE, Ore. (AP) — A groundskeeper at the Glide School District has been charged with the rape, sodomy and sexual abuse of his 12-year-old stepdaughter.
A probable cause affidavit alleges 42-year-old Jamie Todd Adams began abusing the girl after the family moved to southern Oregon from California a year ago and told her that her little brother’s life would be ruined if she told anyone.
Douglas County sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Barden says in the affidavit that the girl’s mother learned of the abuse when the child told her friend.
Adams’ court-appointed attorney, Eugene Thompson, declined to comment Friday.
