Beaverton Cop, Fired & Rehired, Now Charged with Crime Against Child

VANCOUVER, Wash. – The Beaverton police officer with a history of run-ins is on the wrong side of the law again. This time he’s accused of raping a 5-year-old child.

Officer Chris Warren was fired once but the city of Beaverton gave him his job back. The reason he’s kept his job is he has never been convicted of anything.

Warren, 33, was in a Clark County courtroom Thursday morning to face the charge of rape of a child. He lives in Vancouver but works in Beaverton.

He’s being kept separately from other inmates at the Clark County Jail for his own protection. The judge told him he can’t be released from jail before his trial because the charges against him are too severe. The judge set bail at $250,000.

Last month he was in a Washington County courtroom accused of using food stamps he didn’t qualify for. Those cases are just starting.

But four years ago Warren was put on leave. He was investigated for inappropriately touching a girl when he himself was a teenager. He was never charged.

But Warren was fired in 2011 after allegations he didn’t report his friend for suspected child abuse. Then later that year the city of Beaverton gave him his job back after Warren and the union appealed his firing.

…

In total, Warren has been accused four times but has never been convicted.

On that afternoon, Bailey decided that his routine beat on the streets of Southeast D.C. extended into the hallways of Moten Elementary School.

Although Bailey was not a trained school resource officer contracted from the Metropolitan Police Department nor one of the three contract officers assigned to Moten at the time, his presence raised no red flags. Regular visits from the police in D.C. Public Schools had become ubiquitous.

On the day of the alleged assault, the student, “T.P.” had been sent to the cafeteria for the infraction of failing to adequately participate in music class. The result of his childish behavior was a full-on police encounter.

One emergency room, two weeks and countless headaches later. T.P. seemed to be back to normal. Only his mother could see that something about him had changed: T.P. was now afraid to go to school.
