HILLSBORO, Ore- On September 16, 2025, Bryan Norman Anderson, age 66, pleaded guilty to sexual abuse in the first degree and two counts of encouraging child sex abuse in the first degree and was sentenced to 102 months in prison. Deputy District Attorney Rayney Meisel prosecuted this case.
On September 6, 2024, a young child was swimming in a pool at an apartment complex on SW Sagert St. in Tualatin, Oregon, where the defendant lived. Mr. Anderson was also at the swimming pool and began to interact with the child. The defendant fondled the child’s private areas. The boy reported this to his mother, who then alerted the Tualatin Police Department. Police were able to obtain video surveillance of the pool area, which captured the abuse. In an interview with the police, the defendant admitted he had fondled the child.
The defendant was indicted on two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree. On October 4, 2024, the DA’s office petitioned the Court for pre-trial preventative detention. That motion was denied, and the defendant was released back into the community and ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor.
After his release, the defendant left the Tualatin apartment complex and moved to Sherwood, Oregon. In late 2024 and early 2025, law enforcement received cyber tips that someone at the defendant’s address had uploaded multiple images of child sexual abuse material. They determined that the child sexual abuse materials had been uploaded by the defendant from his home in Tualatin prior to the pool incident, and again after his arrest, from a different location, while wearing an electronic home detention monitor.
The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the victim in this case and his family for reporting the defendant’s actions. This office also acknowledges the work of the Tualatin Police Department.
In addition to his prison sentence, the court also ordered the defendant to register as a sex offender and serve 10 years of post-prison supervision.
