This is Donald Gresh, a child predator who had more than TWO THOUSAND photos and videos of toddlers being raped. Raped by grown men, raped by animals, truly horrific child sexual abuse material. He served one, ONE single day in jail before being released. This man lives here in South Carolina with you and your families because of an absolutely beyond broken system where pedophiles aren't prosecuted.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A 26-year-old man is facing over 300 felony charges, mostly related to child sex abuse and exploitation, Portland police said.

At around 9 a.m. Friday, officers arrested Fonte Gladen after an ongoing investigation found images and videos “depicting children and adults in bedrooms and bathrooms located inside a private residence” on devices associated with him.

Police said the recordings were made using hidden cameras “inside cell phone power adapters and external batteries,” with neither the victims’ knowledge nor consent.

Officials said six children and five adults were identified in the recordings.

Further materials depicting child sexual abuse were found on a cell phone, and investigators say the material was “received and distributed through online platforms.” Those recordings were made in the homes of people known to Gladen, officials said.

Gladen was booked on a total of 385 charges, including using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct (86 counts), first-degree invasion of personal privacy (93 counts), first-degree encouraging child sexual abuse (86 counts), second-degree encouraging child sexual abuse (112 counts), as well as computer crimes (8 counts).

At this time, police say they do not believe there are additional victims, but the case is under investigation.

Anyone who believes they were either recorded by Gladen or have further information is encouraged to contact Portland police.

Police also offered the following advice regarding hidden cameras.

“Hidden cameras can be concealed inside common household items and placed in private areas such as bedrooms or bathrooms,” PPB said. “Community members are encouraged to be alert for unfamiliar or out of place objects, electronics plugged in where power is not normally needed, or items positioned toward beds or bathrooms. If a hidden camera is discovered or suspected, do not touch it, document it if possible, move children to a safe area, and contact law enforcement immediately.”
