HILLSBORO, Ore- On November 3, 2023, Timothy Irwin Meeker, age 72, pleaded guilty to three counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree. On December 7, 2023, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Oscar Garcia sentenced the defendant to 100 months in prison. Senior Deputy District Attorney Andy Pulver prosecuted this case.
The defendant sexually abused two children. The first victim was abused multiple times over a span of several years. This came to light in 2018 after the defendant molested the second victim, who reported the actions to her mother. The girl was seen by medical experts at CARES Northwest but was unable to provide details due to her young age. The defendant denied any wrongdoing and investigators were unable to proceed.
In 2022, the first victim disclosed the abuse to loved ones and experts at CARES Northwest. Family members confronted the defendant with the allegations, and he admitted to the abuse.
The Washington County District Attorney's Office commends these victims for their bravery throughout this process. This office also thanks the Tigard Police Department and CARES Northwest for their work.
Mr. Meeker will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence.
