Man Arrested for Indecent Exposure at Amazon Public Pool



EUGENE, Ore. - A 59-year-old man was arrested Wednesday morning after reports of indecent behavior at Amazon Pool. 

Eugene Police responded to calls at 9:37 a.m. about a man, later identified as James Thomas Lynch, allegedly masturbating in a parked Toyota Camry while watching swimmers at the Amazon Pool located at 2600 Hilyard.
Using a drone, the Eugene Police Metro Drone Team located a vehicle matching the description in the parking lot on the east side of the pool, facing toward the swimmers. The drone footage provided sufficient evidence to establish probable cause for Lynch’s arrest. As officers approached on foot, Lynch attempted to back out of his parking spot but was quickly stopped and taken into custody.
Lynch was transported to Lane County Jail and charged with ORS 163.465, Felony Public Indecency. The case number is 25-12206.

A Father’s Nightmare: How Lies and a Broken System Stole His Children

Image
Bend, Or. - The weight of this story is nearly unbearable. It is a chilling testament to how easily a father can lose his children, not through wrongdoing, but through a system that too often favors the first to accuse and asks questions later. Last month, I reported on the horrifying case of Sarah Session and her parents, Paula and Gary Hardenburg. Sarah stands accused of abusing and nearly killing her 9-year-old stepson, Braxton, while her parents allegedly enabled the abuse and helped cover it up. The details of this case are some of the most horrifying I have ever come across, acts of cruelty inflicted upon a helpless child, short of death itself. But beyond the gruesome abuse lies another devastating truth: Sarah was only able to harm this child because she manipulated the court system, weaponizing lies to gain not only custody of her own two children but also temporary custody of Braxton, her husband's son from a previous relationship. She stole them, not with force, but wit...
