A Clackamas man has been arrested on child pornography charges less than three months after completing a federal prison sentence for similar conduct.
According to the complaint, Homeland Security agents were contacted by Portland Police Bureau detectives earlier this month in regard to multiple tip reports they’d received regarding Stacy’s alleged use of Facebook, Dropbox and other web services to possess and distribute child pornography.
Stacy had been released from federal custody in December 2022 after serving a 60-month sentence on a previous child pornography conviction. Stacy was arrested in September 2018 while in possession of an iPhone containing over 9,000 videos and 20,000 images depicting child pornography.
While on post-prison supervision, Stacy was prohibited from possessing a computer or other electronic devices or accessing the internet for any reason without permission from his probation officer.
On March 16, 2023, investigators executed federal search warrants on Stacy’s person, residence and his mother’s residence. Agents seized multiple electronic devices officials allege Stacy possessed in violation of his terms of supervision and placed him under arrest.
According to his website and Facebook page at the time of his arrest in 2018, Stacy was a dedicated Elvis Presley impersonator and was active at events in the region.
Investigators at that time said Stacy also impersonated a law enforcement officer on numerous occasions in an attempt to make contact with and sexually exploit minors.
That arrest rocked area residents who knew Stacy, attended high school with him at Gladstone, or who knew him later in life. One woman described knowing Stacy for a five-year period during which he claimed to be from the United Kingdom and even effected a British accent.
“Over the years, he just got weirder and weirder, until last year, and it came to light that he had basically been lying to us about who he was,” she told The Canby Current in 2018.
This case was investigated by Homeland Security, the Portland Police Bureau and U.S. Probation Office. Anyone who has information about the physical or online exploitation of children is encouraged to call 866-347-2423 or submit a tip online.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, visit justice.gov/psc.
