police officer's child sex abuse case delayed


police officer's child sex abuse case delayed

Clark County judge granted a continuance in the child rape case against a Beaverton police officer this week, according to court staff.
Christopher Ramoan Warren, 33, is accused in Clark County Superior Court of raping a 5-year-old and charged in Washington County Circuit Court with defrauding the State of Oregon.

Warren, who was working as a desk officer, was placed on paid administrative leave in April, when he was arrested in Washington County on accusations that included food stamp fraud, theft of at least $1,000 from the state of Oregon. He was arrested at his Vancouver home in May on accusations of sexually abusing a young girl.
Warren joined the Beaverton Police Department in 2004 after spending two years as a reserve officer. He was placed on paid leave in September 2009 when the Multnomah County district attorney's office investigated claims he inappropriately touched a girl when he was 17, the agency said. The case was dropped in April 2010.

He was placed on paid leave again one month later, the police department said. At the time, investigators were looking into allegations that he failed to report suspected child abuse involving one of his childhood friends, according to a memo from Multnomah County prosecutors. The friend was later convicted of sex abuse.
