Man sentenced to 162 years in prison for child sex abuse

  • On May 2, 2025, Dewayne Forrest, 53, from Coos County received a prison term totaling 162 years following his conviction for multiple child sexual offenses spanning two decades.
  • In 2021, the Oregon Department of Justice’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit was alerted through two online reports concerning child sexual abuse content linked to a phone number registered to Forrest.
  • Investigations uncovered that Forrest committed various offenses such as sexual assault, unlawful sexual acts, and first-degree encouragement of child sexual abuse involving victims under the age of 12, with five individuals testifying against him during the trial.
  • Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield stated that when their special agents discovered the individual had a prior investigation related to child sexual abuse, they recognized the need to continue probing further.
  • Because of the investigation and survivors coming forward, Forrest was removed from the community, but authorities say there may be additional unidentified victims and ask anyone with information to contact the DOJ task force at 503-934-2092.
