30 Sex Abuse Charges For Beaverton Man: Police

Reachana 'Brandon' Chan allegedly sexually abused at least 5 teen girls between 2013 and 2015—and police believe there may be more victims.

BEAVERTON, OR — For sexually abusing at least five teen girls between 2013 and 2015, a Beaverton man faces 30 separate felony charges, according to Beaverton police.

Reachana Chan, 24, was taken to Washington County Jail and charged with multiple counts each for rape, sex abuse, sodomy, and using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, as well as individual charges for unlawful sexual penetration, and encouraging child sex abuse. His bail was set at $5.25 million.

Chan was originally arrested in March for allegedly sexually abusing two teen girls in November 2014 and April 2015, respectively. Since Chan's arrest was first announced, however, three more female victims have come forward to accuse Chan of sexually criminal acts that occurred between 2013 and 2014.
