Two women who grew up in Happy Valley Pastor Mike Sperou’s communal church confronted him in court for the first time Thursday, accusing him of sexually abusing them in the 1980s and 1990s.

One woman, 35-year-old Amy Robinson, said that while she was in middle school, she awoke after she was invited to spend the night with Sperou, to find his fingers in her vagina.

“He also would put my hand over his penis, over his underwear,” said Robinson, now a mother of four in Saugus, Massachusetts.

Robinson is one of seven women accusing Sperou of abuse in the cluster of homes the North Clackamas Bible Community rents in Happy Valley and Southeast Portland. However, Robinson is not the victim in Sperou’s criminal case.
