August 22, 2025
Portland, OR- Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Kelly Skye today sentenced 23-year-old Kody Richard Jensen to 130 months in prison (10 years and 10 months) for multiple crimes involving domestic violence against his victim.
He was convicted of:
Rape in the First Degree Constituting Domestic Violence
Sex Abuse in the First Degree Constituting Domestic Violence
Assault in the Fourth Degree Constituting Domestic Violence
Harassment
Coercion Constituting Domestic Violence
In a separate case, the defendant was sentenced August 7, 2025 to 125 months (10 years, 5 months) for domestic violence against a different victim.
In that case he was found guilty on July 10, 2025 of Coercion, Kidnapping in the Second Degree, two counts of Assault in the Fourth Degree Constituting Domestic Violence, Attempted Assault in the Second Degree, and two counts of Tampering with a Witness.
Judge Skye ordered the sentences be run one after the other leading to a total prison sentence of 21-years and 3 months.
In a third case ( 23CR32481) a woman reported being raped while incapacitated- both while conscious and unconscious by Jensen on July 7, 2023.
He was charged with two counts of Rape in the First Degree and two counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree. A jury found him not guilty on one of the rape charges and Judge Eric Dahlin acquitted the defendant on the other three charges on July 28, 2025.
The cases were prosecuted for the state by Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Mihnea Moga.
After the sentencing he said:
“I commend the victims for their bravery to come to Court and face their abuser throughout these trials. I am very pleased with the result and hope that this sentence provides them with some consolation that the defendant was held accountable for his horrific actions.”
The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Detective Jordan Smith for his outstanding work on this case.
MCDA would also like to thank Multnomah County District Attorney’s Victim Advocate Allison Miller for the care and compassion they showed the victims in this case.
THE FACTS INVOLVING THE SENTENCE TODAY:
Court records show that Jensen was in a relationship with a woman and committed repeated acts of serious domestic violence and sexual assault from July 2023 to October of 2023.
According to the sentencing memo, the defendant was in a relationship with his victim. He is a violent individual who repeatedly abused his victim both emotionally and physically, seemingly at every chance he got. Defendant’s violence was not limited to impulsive reactions. In addition to his decision to cause physical injury to her, the defendant sexually assaulted the woman after being expressly told by her that she did not want to engage in the conduct. Despite breaking free from the defendant after being raped in one instance, Jensen’s conduct continued that night by grabbing her by the throat and slamming her on the bed. Then, he would not let her leave with her clothing, but she was able to escape with only her bra and pants. The defendant’s violence is further evidenced by the fact that he was recently convicted for crimes of domestic violence against another victim.
THE FACTS INVOLVING THE EARLIER CASE:
In that case, he caused physical injuries to the victim by hitting her, preventing her from leaving his room using the threat of violence, and throwing a phone at her head so hard that it left a scar to this day. He also showed up at her location and took her against her will to an unknown location. The defendant exhibited similar conduct in that relationship and caused permanent and significant damage to that victim. Any inconvenience in his mind merited a violent response. He has demonstrated a pattern of continuous domestic violence and extremely dangerous conduct. He has demonstrated the opposite of remorse by attempting to tamper with the victim to alter her testimony.
