KATU

BEND, Ore. – A pastor from Gresham accused of sexually abusing children faced a judge for the first time in the case as the prosecutor revealed disturbing new details about the charges on Wednesday.
Brigid Turner, a deputy district attorney in Deschutes County, told the court there were two victims, a boy who was two to four years old at the time of the alleged abuse, and a girl who was six to eight.
Turner said James “Jamie” Worley repeatedly molested the children from 2002 to 2004 in Deschutes County. The indictment includes 37 charges.
“Most of the counts are Class A felonies, sexual abuse committed against two minors,” said Turner.
As the deputy DA talked about the allegations, Worley shook his head and motioned with his hands before the public defender told him to stop.
KATU has confirmed the alleged victims in the case were not children that Worley worked with.
Still, Turner fears there may be more victims.
