The director of the Oregon Coast Military Museum, Geoffrey Cannon, 27, was indicted on four counts of second-degree sex abuse of a 15-year-old volunteer.

Museum board members made victim-blaming remarks, causing outrage and calls for accountability


Cannon was indicted by a Lane County grand jury on four counts of second-degree sex abuse for engaging in both oral and sexual intercourse with the teen, a Class C Felony that carries a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison.

Board members talk about case
In a recording of a board meeting involving the family of the abused teen and leaders at the Oregon Coast Military Museum shared with The Register-Guard, a board member said the teenager is not innocent and is "not a little girl."

"I think your daughter could be a promiscuous little slut and you don't know it," the board member said. "And I think you need to get a real handle on that. Think about a young girl that knows how to manipulate men with sex and has done it before."

Gary Cannon, Geoffrey's father, is president of the museum's board. He is also a decorated Vietnam War veteran and retired teacher. During the meeting, he said the victim "knew what she was doing."

1. That is seriously no defense for child abuse

Fuck that pedophile. Or a ephebephile if you’re going to get grossly specific. It doesn’t clear you of guilt if that youngster has been previously abused.

I hate these people with the fires of 1000 suns.

2. Those men are truly disgusting.

3. I once was asked to evaluate a man who had raped his 3 yr old niece.

He used the same language as the guy in this article.

The 3 year old was asking for it, she wanted him. She knew what she was doing. Etc etc
All said with an arrogant smirk on his face.
No remorse or guilt whatsoever.

Despite the fact the 3 year old was in the hospital with injuries.

I had done quite a few court ordered evaluations for sex offenders and was impartial and they didn’t faze me but I saw red on this one.

6. So we have disgusting quotes from a board member..

but we're not going to report his name.

I don't know the political affiliation of the Eugene Register Guard, but printing this garbage anonymously helps to protect the pedophile.

7. The website says volunteers must be 16..... and this girl was 15...

PLEASE NOTE: Student and Youth applicants must be 16 years of age, and currently enrolled in 10th grade to volunteer. Opportunities for school credits may be possible, please coordinate with your academic advisor.
