A Seaside man was sen-
tenced to 20 years in prison
Jan. 24 for encouraging
child sex abuse.
Joshua Allen Picker-
ing, 36, pleaded guilty to
eight counts of encourag-
ing child sex abuse in the
second degree. He was
originally charged with 18
counts for possession of
child pornography.
Pickering has a long
criminal history in Clatsop
County, including numerous
arrests and charges related
to sex abuse and assault.
District Attorney Ron
Brown argued that Picker-
ing is anti-social and has
not been open to treatment.
He called three witnesses
to the stand in court to tes-
tify to Pickering’s behavior,
including his mother.

reduced sentence as a gift.
“I don’t view you as a
monster,” Matyas said. “I
view you as a very com-
plicated, tragic individual.
I have a lot of compassion
for you, and how you got to
this point. I also know that
it is very diffi cult to super-

She said prison may be a
blessing in disguise because
it can offer him a structured
environment and a measure
of success.
“You do have differ-

“It’s complicated how our
personalities can develop
based upon our experi-
ences in life. And you have

were in the Mazda, none of

On Jan. 16 on Highway 26 near
MP 28, a vehicle traveling east
was coming off a hill when it
began picking up speed; the
driver applied the brakes but
lost control; the vehicle spun
out into the west lane.
The driver of a second vehi-
cle saw the fi rst vehicle coming
into its lane but was unable
to get out of the way and was
struck on the driver’s side door.
Both vehicles came to a stop
in the middle of the highway,
blocking traffi c.
ODOT was on scene to assist
with traffi c control. Classic Tow-
ing removed both vehicles. The
operator of Vehicle 2 was cited
for driving with a suspended li-
cense and failure to install the IID
device. No injuries were reported.
One of the back seat passen-
gers rolled down the window
and engaged the trooper in
conversation; the trooper saw
a green leafy substance in the
youth’s lap. Asked if he had
marijuana on his person, the
kid produced a green cylinder
containing marijuana.
The driver was cited for be-
ing a minor in possession of al-
cohol, and the male passenger
for being a minor in possession
of marijuana. The contraband
was removed from the scene.
