Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Doug Pitassi was the CEO of Pacific Office Automation, Oregon’s largest employer. He is also a generous donor to Republicans. Years ago, he pleaded guilty to exposing himself and fondling two students when he was a teacher in Gresham. He was on probation for those offenses when he started working for Pacific Office Automation.

Thomas Garrett was a police detective in Milwaukie, Oregon. He was arrested for familial violence, attacking the mother of his child in front of her other children. He was accused of assault in the presence of children, a felony.
Christopher M. Pruitt pastored a small congregation out of his Beaverton home until it recently moved to North Portland. Allegedly, he touched two girls without their consent on September 29th. He was arrested six days later on October 5, 2023.
He was “home-schooling” her, but she received no schooling, instead she was raped.
Michael Sperou was the pastor at North Clackamas Bible Community. Most people would call NCBC a church but they reject that term as inadequate to the meaning of their fellowship. They proudly announce and promote the teachings of Mike Sperou and he is all over their website despite his third-time conviction for raping children.
Jeffery York was a pastor at New Beginnings Community Church of the Nazarene, in Central California . It is a conservative church. Focus on the Family, a prominent anti-gay organization, was founded by James Dobson, a member of the Church of the Nazarene, though at a different church. In March, 2023, he was arrested for child molestation and sexual abuse. It is alleged he abused a child between 2005 and 2008.
Brian Stout is a Republican Representative in the Oregon House. He ran for District 31 in 2018 and 2020 but lost to Democrat Brad Witt. After redistricting, the district was more Republican and he won in 2022 when Witt ran in a different district. However, one of his campaign volunteers alleged her sexually assaulted and threatened her and sought a protective order that was granted.
John Michael Mann was the Oregon Chief Administrative Law Judge who supervised the sixty judges who would decide cases between citizens and regulatory agencies. He was charged with encouraging child sex abuse which is what Oregon charges people who receive or possess child sexual abuse material. I think that really highlights what the result of possession of CSAM ends with. No one can possess CSAM without children being abused.
He pleaded guilty just before the trial and was sentenced in May 2023 to 38 months in prison and 5 months probation.
