Internet Crimes Unit Arrests Suspect for Encouraging Child Sex Abuse​

After a month-long investigation led by Portland Police Bureau’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, a suspect has been arrested and charged with 12 felony crimes related to child pornography and luring a minor.

In March of 2022, the Portland Police Bureau became aware of a suspect who may be in possession of child sex abuse imagery. After an investigation, they determined that Kellen D. Nicholson, 18, of Portland, possessed and duplicated child pornography, and then connected online to a 13-year-old victim and engaged in illegal conduct. Nicholson was grooming the victim using online chat rooms and appears to have purposely targeted the victim based on many factors including their LGBTQ2S+ identity. The family of the minor victim was not aware of this online behavior and was grateful for PPB's intervention.

On April 29, 2022, Nicholson was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges including:

-Five counts of Encouraging Sex Abuse in the First Degree (duplication of child sex abuse imagery)
-Five counts of Encouraging Sex Abuse in the Second Degree (possession with intent to view)
-Luring a minor (inducing the minor or purported minor to engage in sexual conduct)
-Online Sexual Corruption of a Child In the Second Degree (knowingly uses an online communication to solicit a child to engage in sexual contact or sexually explicit conduct)

April is Child Abuse Awareness month. For current resources on online safety, child abuse awareness, age appropriate education, and to make a report of suspicious online behavior, please visit https://www.missingkids.org/HOME .

He wrote for his high school newspaper under his "deadname" until sometime last year. (archive) He switched then to "Opal" and was one of the editors. (archive) Going to Cleveland, his family resides somewhere on the close inner East side of Portland.

Oh yeah here's his Reddit profile and an archive.



This creature must have done something truly spectacular to actually get arrested by the Portland police. I wonder what we will ever find out.

 

[Phimosis Jonisis]

Not surprising lol

"STOP CALLING US GROOMERS" then stop getting caught grooming you freaks

 

[TheBest]

Not just to get arrested, but have 12 felonies in Portland means you’re a sick fuck.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

Another attack by the far right white supremacists on a glitter mom just trying to help a trans child explore their gender.

 

[The handsome tard]

When we are bringing the good old gallows back?

 

[Chin of Campbell]

I can scarcely imagine a more heinous place than r/PortlandHookups. I don't think it'd be possible to string together three more horrible concepts in a single name than r/PortlandHookups.

>tfw you have more felonies than friends on Facebook

Each one an arresting officer I bet.

>tfw you have more felonies than friends on Facebook

To be fair Facebook is boomer tech. I don't expect people under 50 to easily find peers there.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

The moment when you find a criminal that ticks all the boxes of everything you despise.

>Pedophile
>Portland
>Reddit

 

[Ghost of Wesley Willis]

This is the least surprising news today.

 

[Larry David's Opera Cape]

Added to the dossier, its gaming profile.

Still trying to find out who the parents are because you know they are going to be "characters."

 

[Gottahavemysips]

Portland should just be firebombed. I refuse to believe there's anybody who can be classified as a human remaining in that city.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

It's just one tranny, guys. And another. And another, and another, and another. For such a small minority there sure are a lot of child predators among them...

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

It is just Missing Journalist.

 

[ObeseScreamingBlackMan]

Look guys it’s totally normal, sometimes you’ve got to groom and fuck an egg before you can hatch it. Only a transphobic bigot nazi white supremacist MAGA chud would think otherwise.

 

[Pruto]

Portland should just be firebombed. I refuse to believe there's anybody who can be classified as a human remaining in that city.

I'm actually shocked they didn't gave """her""" a medal.

 

[Kulee Baba]

Will the figureheads that represent the trans community address the fact that there is indeed Male Rapists who are committing to dressing in drag to bypass the system?

How long until we get the hashtag #NotAllTrans?

 

[mold]

Not just to get arrested, but have 12 felonies in Portland means you’re a sick fuck.

Oregon is actually pretty harsh on sex crimes, as long as you're not a fundraiser for the Democratic Party.

 

[Vesperus]

I'm amazed Portland Police has a 'Crimes Against Children' Unit.
Jesus, imagine the overtime.
