State Employee Charged with Kidnapping and Sexual Misconduct in Oregon
A shocking case of abuse of power has come to light in Oregon, where a state employee has been indicted for kidnapping and sexual misconduct against a vulnerable woman with developmental disabilities.
Zakary Glover, 28, of Lebanon, Oregon, a direct support crisis specialist for the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Disabilities Stabilization and Crisis Unit (SACU), is accused of depriving the victim of her constitutional right to bodily integrity while acting under color of law.
The indictment alleges that Glover engaged in attempted sexual abuse and kidnapping, and took the victim on an outing in a secure van to a secluded location where he committed the crimes. The victim, who has severe autism, cognitive deficits and communicates mostly by using pictures, videos and drawings, was one of the individuals under Glover’s care.
Glover’s duties included ensuring the health, safety and security of the individuals who lived at the residential facility where he worked. However, he allegedly used his position of trust to exploit the victim.
If convicted, Glover faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Portland Field Office with assistance from the Oregon State Police. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gavin Bruce for the District of Oregon, and Special Litigation Counsel Fara Gold and Trial Attorney Daniel Grunert of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section.
An indictment is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
