Curtis Mason Jacobsen was in the work on the Oregon USA staff at the time of the abuse and subsequent arrest.

He was charged in February 1997 with 2 counts of sexual abuse in the 3^rd degree and pleaded guilty to 1 count in March 1997.

The parents of the victim advised the court that they thought Curtis was not a habitual offender and that it was an isolated one-time offense, asking that the court show mercy and leniency.
