Wilsonville man sexually abused 6-year-old, sentenced to 25 years

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man who sexually abused a child for four years was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Tuesday, Clackamas County officials announced.

Eric Michael Shaw-Stearns, 38, was convicted earlier in April on charges of first-degree sodomy, four counts of first-degree sexual abuse and three counts of unlawful sexual penetration.

Shaw-Stearns began abusing the child when they were six years old and continued until the child was 10.

”Some of Shaw-Stearns’ crimes were subject to Jessica’s Law, an Oregon law that requires a 25-year mandatory minimum sentence for adults who are convicted of raping, sodomizing or sexually penetrating a child under the age of 12 years old,” the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office said.

Prosecutors sought a 50-year sentence for Shaw-Sterns.
