Oregon Woman Indicted for Sex Abuse of Children

(Salem, Oregon) An 18-year-old woman, Morgan Alicia Jodeen Larson, has been indicted by a Marion County grand jury on sex abuse charges involving an 8-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, both young relatives.

She faces charges of rape, sodomy, sex abuse, unlawful sexual penetration and use of a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct.

The acts became known when the female victim told an older relative about the abuse. When questioned by police, Larson said she was innocent and couldn't understand why the children would make such accusations.

Larson was booked into custody at the Marion County Jail without bail.
