ANDY NGO REPORTS: Portland Antifa riot arrestee charged over child sex abuse and making child porn

Convicted felon William Kerr is accused of sexually abusing a child and making child porn

William Kerr's child sex abuse charges in Multnomah County

Kerr is a career criminal and convicted felon who was arrested at a violent Antifa riot in 2016 in downtown Portland after Donald Trump was announced as the presidential election winner against Hillary Clinton. For three days, Antifa and far-left rioters smashed up businesses and cars, and also started fires across the city. Kerr's second-degree disorderly conduct charge over the riot was quickly dropped by prosecutors.

It is unknown if he returned to rioting in 2020, but on his social media, he shared a video in August 2020 defending rioting and looting.

William Kerr has a long criminal history in the Portland area

Kerr has a long criminal history in Oregon. In 2006, he was convicted of attempting to commit both a Class A and Class B felony over a violent robbery case. In March last year, he was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, attempted murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and other felony charges. The attempted murder and attempt to commit a Class A felony charges were dropped by the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office under DA Mike Schmidt while a judge dismissed the remaining felony charges.

William Kerr's charges over an attempted murder case were dropped and dismissed

In September, a protection order case against Kerr was opened for a minor.

Kerr's child sex abuse case echoes another recent case of Portland Antifa riot arrestee, Aubrey Ryan Quinn-Ward, who was arrested and charged following a child sex sting in a neighboring county.

This is a developing story. Gresham Police has been reached for comment.
