TILLAMOOK COUNTY Ore. (KPTV) - A Tillamook County man is facing 30 child sexual abuse charges after allegedly recording a child related to him with a hidden camera, the Oregon Department of Justice announced on Thursday.
According to the Oregon DOJ, 51-year-old Dale Willis was indicted on 30 charges related to child sexual abuse material by a grand jury.
The charges include:
First-degree encouraging child sex abuse.
Invasion of personal privacy.
Using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct.
According to the Oregon DOJ, between Dec. 23, 2025, and March 26, 2026, they received nine tips from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which were used to identify Willis as a suspect and determine where the alleged abuse was happening.
Investigators also learned that Willis was a registered sex offender after a 2018 conviction in Alaska for 10 counts of possessing child sexual abuse material.
The Oregon DOJ said Willis was arrested this week and is being held at the Tillamook County Jail.

Utah sex offender jailed for meeting, sexually abusing 12-year-old girl, while on probation for previous offense
MURRAY, Utah (ABC4) — A Murray man, previously convicted of a sexual offense against a minor, is facing child rape charges for allegedly committing the same crime again, this time against a 12-year-old girl.
James Jayden Smith, 19, has been arrested on charges of rape of a child, a first-degree felony; object rape of a child, a first-degree felony; and sexual abuse of a child, a second-degree felony. Formal charges have not yet been filed.
According to the arrest statement, on July 22, the Murray Police Department received a report that a 19-year-old man met with and sexually abused a 12-year-old girl.
The man, identified as Smith, allegedly coerced the victim into riding the FrontRunner from her home in Davis County to the Murray Central Station. There, he and his mother picked the 12-year-old up and brought her to his home.
Police brought the 12-year-old victim to the Children’s Justice Center for an interview, during which she explained that Smith asked her to take her clothes off while she was at his house, and described him sexually abusing her.
Notably, in 2025, Smith met with a minor in a very similar manner for sex. He was convicted of unlawful adolescent sexual activity —an 18-year-old in high school with a 13-year-old, a third-degree felony.
He was placed on probation as part of his sentencing, meaning this new alleged rape case is in violation of his probation.
On July 23, Smith was apprehended and brought in for questioning. Documents say he agreed to speak with detectives and admitted that he met the 12-year-old over Snapchat. He said that they decided to meet in person, and his mom brought him to pick her up from the FrontRunner station.
Smith allegedly stated that he engaged in sexual relations with the underage victim and sexually abused her. He told police that he “should have known better since he was convicted of past child sexual assault charges.”
Smith was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail, where he is being held without bail. The arresting officer noted that he “clearly did not adhere to his probation conditions and committed the same exact offense, using the same exact method.”
