A Molalla police officer is accused of helping a sex offender avoid mandatory registration.
Officer James Barnhart, a 19-year veteran of the force, will face three misdemeanor charges.
The alleged misconduct happened several years ago but the
investigation began only a few months ago, according to Molalla police
Chief Rod Lucich.
The police department asked the Clackamas County Sheriff's office to assist in the investigation.
Barnhart is now on administrative leave and is due in court Oct. 23.
