Clackamas County, OR – A 45-year-old man from Colton, identified as Levi Forrest Wallace, has been sentenced to over nine years in prison. Wallace, a Level 3 registered sex offender, was convicted in Clackamas County for engaging in sexually explicit online chats with teen girls and attempting to arrange meetings for sexual purposes.
The sentencing follows Wallace’s conviction on multiple charges related to his online interactions with minors. Court documents indicate that Wallace had prior convictions for contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor and public indecency.
His apprehension involved two separate online exploitation sting operations conducted in 2024 and 2026. During the investigation, Wallace reportedly fled the country to Taiwan. Following his deportation from Taiwan, he was returned to the United States to face prosecution for the charges in Oregon.
The details of the sting operations, the specific nature of the sexually explicit chats, and the outcome of any attempts to meet the minors were not fully detailed in the available information. Wallace’s status as a Level 3 registered sex offender signifies a high risk to the community, according to state classifications.
The Clackamas County District Attorney’s office handled the prosecution. The sentence aims to address the severity of the offenses and protect potential victims.
