Child Luring Suspect Arrested And Indicted (Photo) -06/02/25

Clackamas County, OR – On May 29th, a Clackamas County grand jury indicted Zachary Kyle Morgan, 42 of SE Portland, on charges of Luring a Minor, Online Sexual Corruption of a Child I and Online Sexual Corruption of a Child II.

 

These charges stemmed from a months long investigation which was initiated during a FBI Portland Interagency child luring interdiction sting to include the Milwaukie and West Linn Police Departments. During that prior mission, Officers and Agents posed as decoy children and attempted to elicit contact from users on popular online networking/dating sites and applications.

 

At the conclusion of that sting, a West Linn Police investigator, posing as a 14 year old girl, continued to stay in contact with Morgan. The Police Officer child decoy and Morgan’s communication included multiple sexual acts Morgan hoped to conduct.

 

On May 22nd, Morgan made the substantial act of traveling to an agreed location of a Clackamas County retailer to meet what he believed was a 14-year-old female. Morgan was instead taken into custody by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Interagency Task Force and subsequently transported to the Clackamas County Jail by the Milwaukie Police Department.

 

Online exploitation of children is an intolerable community menace. Parents and Guardians are encouraged to monitor their children’s access to online platforms and regularly discuss the dangers that can exist with online interactions. If you believe your child is a victim of online sexual exploitation, discontinue contact with that individual, save the conversations, and contact local law enforcement.

Investigators are concerned there may be additional child victims associated with Morgan. The Milwaukie and West Linn Police Departments urge those with concerning information about Zachary Morgan contact the Milwaukie Police Department; (link sends e-mail)police@milwaukieoregon.gov(link sends e-mail) or calling the Milwaukie Police tip line at (503)786-7425 referencing case number 25-2797.

The American Legion, Milwaukie Post #180 non-profit - "Corporal Diffie Veterans Fund" was established in 2019 through the partnership developed between the American Legion, Milwaukie Post #180 and the Milwaukie Police Department’s Veteran Resource Team. The Corporal Diffie Veteran's Fund provides the sponsoring police agency patrol officers with a unique and needed resource, by providing them immediate access to emergency funds to help veterans or their family members in crisis, or stuck in the ‘GAP’ waiting for services and resources they have earned and qualify for at the Federal, State, or County level. The ‘GAP’ is a common complaint and obstacle veterans face, with resources and services typically taking months or longer to be approved and provided. This time period can be extremely difficult for veterans or their immediate family members, and it often leads to veterans going into crisis as they lose hope. 

 

Each sponsoring Police agency has a Veteran's Resource Team (VRT) made up of Veteran's Resource Officers who have access to these funds and collaboration with the Milwaukie Post 180 Veteran Outreach Team and the Post’s Veteran Service Officer. The Corporal Diffie Veterans Fund restores hope and provides the veteran and their immediate family with emergency assistance at the front end of the problem, curtailing the crisis. The Corporal Diffie Veterans Fund closes the ‘Gap’ to services through emergency relief by providing food, clothing, shelter assistance, or other basic life sustaining needs. After the initial emergency assistance is rendered by the police officer, it is followed by advocacy provided by the American Legion, Milwaukie Post 180 Veteran Outreach Team and the Post’s Veteran Service Officer to help secure the long-term solutions the veteran has earned and qualifies for.
