Portland Public School teacher accused of luring a minor with 'brazen conversations'

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A Portland Public School teacher is in custody after a weeks-long investigation revealed his attempt to lure a California police officer posing as a 13 year old, Portland police announced Friday.

Investigators said Craig Douglas-Meyers, a teacher at Hosford Middle School in Southeast Portland, had initiated conversations with an undercover police officer based out of the Yuba City Police Department that were “sexual in nature and involved discussions on how to meet.”

Douglas-Meyers, 38, was arrested on Friday morning and lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center on a felony charge of luring a minor.

Investigators say it is possible that Douglas-Meyers had other victims.

"Due to Douglas-Meyers’ brazen conversations with who [sic] he thought was a child, and his employment as a teacher at Hosford Middle School in Southeast Portland, detectives fear there could be additional children with who he has had inappropriate contact," officials said.

Anyone with information about him is encouraged to contact the Portland Police Bureau.
