Portland Trans Non-Binary Activist Accused of 11 Felony Child Sex Crimes
A Portland LGBTQ+ activist who recruited for a "Rainbow Youth" group is accused of nearly a dozen child sex crimes.
Portland, Ore. — A Portland trans non-binary drag queen and LGBTQ+ activist was charged with 11 felony first-degree counts of encouraging child sexual abuse.
Justin William Jespersen, a 29-year-old male who performs under the name “Sydney Villon,” was arrested April 15 following an investigation by the Portland Police Bureau’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
Authorities said the case began after police received a cybertip alleging Jespersen was distributing child sexual abuse material online. During the investigation, detectives developed evidence that Jespersen was allegedly grooming a young child and planning to sexually abuse that victim.
In the Ngo Comment investigation, I found that Jespersen maintained an extensive online presence across multiple platforms, including Reddit, Discord, TikTok, Snapchat, Kik, Instagram and Facebook.
