Kitzhaber email leaker goes public
SALEM (AP) — The
man who leaked thousands
of emails from the personal
account of former Gov.
John Kitzhaber to a Portland
newspaper is coming forward
publicly.
In a story published
Wednesday, Michael Rodgers
told Willamette Week that he
wants to speak out because
he’s worn down from months
of isolation and investigation.
“Life has not been good
for me,” Rodgers told the
newspaper. “I can’t do this
any longer.”
Rodgers is on paid leave
from his job at the Depart-
ment of Administrative
Services, where he’s a senior
administrator
overseeing
technology for state agencies.
His staff is responsible for
storing emails and data for
tens of thousands of workers.
Rodgers told the news-

was unsure what to do with
the emails he had. He told
Willamette Week he didn’t
trust the state police, which
was part of Kitzhaber’s
administration, and found
that a majority of the Oregon
Supreme Court and all of the
Oregon Government Ethics
Commission
comprised
political appointees.

Willamette Week reports
that Rodgers gave the
emails to the newspaper
under the condition that he
remain anonymous and that
none of the documents that
were clearly about personal
matters would be published.
Based on the information
provided by Rodgers, the
newspaper reported on Feb.
12 that Kitzhaber’s staff had
requested the destruction
of the emails. His spokes-
woman said they were
from a personal account
and archived by mistake.
The report escalated the
already growing pressure on
Kitzhaber to resign.

SALEM — The Senate
Judiciary
Committee
Wednesday approved a bill
doubling Oregon’s statute
of limitation on rape to 12
years.
House Bill 2317, which
has already cleared the
House, moves to the full
Senate without change,
despite pleas that Oregon’s
statute of limitations should
be set even longer.
Advocates had urged
the committee to extend the
deadline for prosecutions to
20 years.
“It took me years not only
to disclose everything Pastor
Mike did to me, but to even
realize just how badly the
abuse affected my life,” said
Jessica Watson, one of seven
victims of Mike Sperou, who
was convicted April 30 in
Multnomah County Circuit
Court.
Sperou, 64, was pastor at
a Happy Valley church. He
was convicted in connection
with only the youngest of
the seven victims, who all
chose to go on the record.
The statute of limitations
barred his prosecution on
crimes involving the others,
including Watson.
Watson and others favored
an extension to 20 years – or
even no limit.
“But it was not the statute
of limitations that failed
them,” said Thomas Sermak,
executive director of Public
Defender of Marion County
Inc., in opposing the change.
“The system failed them in
other ways.”
The proposed 12-year
limit would apply to four
¿UVWGHJUHH VH[ FULPHV
Rape, sodomy, unlawful
sexual penetration and sex
abuse.
The House bill mimics
the change that lawmakers
made in 2005, when victims
of sex crimes under age 18
have until age 30 to seek
prosecution.
Oregon most recently
increased its statute of
limitations for rape and other
serious sex crimes in 1989,
when lawmakers raised it
from three to six years. There
is no limit, however, if there
is DNA evidence available.
The current deadline puts
Oregon among the states
with the shortest periods,
according to the Rape, Abuse
and Incest National Network.
About 40 states set it at 10
years or longer, and 28 of
them have no limits.
Sen. Floyd Prozanski,
D-Eugene, the Judiciary
Committee
chairman,
described the 12-year limit as
a stopgap pending a review
RIWKHOLPLWDWLRQVIRU¿UVWGH-
gree sex crimes. He said he
seeks a recommendation that
lawmakers can be prepared
to act on in the 2016 session.
Challenged by Danielle
Tudor, a 1989 rape victim
who told her story in the
Portland Tribune on Feb. 10,
Prozanski said the review is
not a “smokescreen” to head
off legislative approval of a
still-longer limit.
“I feel we have to go
through
a
deliberative
process and ensure that we
are doing right,” Prozanski
said.
