Oregon Attorney General John Kroger today announced the indictment of a Molalla man on 75 counts of child pornography and sexual assault charges.

"I’d like to thank the Child Abuse Team for lending their assistance on this extremely important case,” said Attorney General Kroger.
A search warrant was executed at a Portland business on March 4. Investigators later identified the victim as a 13-year-old girl. On March 5, another search warrant was executed at a Molalla residence. Feathers was arrested March 5 at work.
