Foster Parent Pleads Guilty to Multiple Charges in Sex Abuse Case



EUGENE, Ore. – A 43-year-old man has pleaded guilty and was sentenced to multiple charges related to the abuse of a minor, following an investigation by Lane County Sheriff’s detectives.


The investigation began on October 31, 2023, after allegations were made against Jeffery Allen Adams, who was the foster parent of the juvenile victim. Detectives quickly developed probable cause to arrest Adams on several charges related to sex crimes against the juvenile victim.


As detectives worked to locate Adams, they received information that he was on his way to the victim’s location. Detectives and deputies acted swiftly, intercepting him less than a mile from the juvenile victim’s whereabouts. Adams was arrested and booked into the Lane County Jail on charges including sex abuse and sodomy.


On January 13, 2025, Adams pleaded guilty to one count of Rape in the Second Degree, four counts of Rape in the Third Degree, and two counts of Sodomy in the Third Degree. He was sentenced to 120 months (10 years) in the Oregon Department of Corrections.


Lane County Sheriff’s Office continues to offer support to the victim.


This case is being tracked under LCSO Case #23-5715.
