   Craig Douglas-Meyers, 38, is a teacher at Hosford Middle School in Southeast   
   Portland. Portland police believe there may be more victims.   
      
   PORTLAND, Ore. — A math teacher at Hosford Middle School in Portland was   
   arrested Friday morning and faces a felony charge of luring a minor, the   
   Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reported.   
      
   Craig Douglas-Meyers, 38, was arrested at his home in Northeast Portland after   
   a weeks-long investigation. He is currently being held at the Multnomah County   
   Detention Center.   
      
   The investigation started July 18 when a detective in Yuba City, California,   
   reached out to PPB's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit. The detective told   
   PPB that as part of an undercover chat operation, the detective posed as a   
   13-year-old child and    
   communicated with a Portland man, later identified as Douglas-Meyers. The   
   conversations, initiated by Douglas-Meyers, were "sexual in nature and   
   involved discussions on how to meet," PPB said.   
      
   "It wasn't just having a pleasant conversation online. It was the intended   
   purpose of meeting up for a sexual relationship," said Trevor Tyler, a   
   sergeant in charge of PPB's child-abuse team. "This was incredibly overt. It   
   was, this is exactly what I    
   intend to do once we meet up and then was very explicit about the intended   
   relationship that they wanted to have."   
      
   PPB said due to the "brazen conversations with who he thought was a child, and   
   his employment as a teacher," detectives believe there may be additional child   
   victims. Portland police released a photo of Douglas-Meyers "in an effort to   
   identify potential    
   victims."   
      
   "This suspect we arrested today teaches 13-year-olds on a regular basis,"   
   Tyler said. "We don't know that they have done anything illegal or committed   
   any offense with any of them, however it is incredibly concerning for us that   
   he was choosing to    
   surround himself with the very people he was seeking out to have a sexual   
   relationship with."   
      
   Portland Public Schools said in a statement that it's fully cooperating with   
   police. The district said it's not aware of any information that suggests any   
   PPS students were impacted. Hosford has been a teacher at Hosford Middle   
   School since 2009, Tyler    
   said.   
      
   According to police, after his arrest, Douglas-Meyers told detectives, "I   
   haven't done anything wrong." He's scheduled to be arraigned Monday.   
      
   Anyone with information about Douglas-Meyers or this case is asked to contact   
   PPB Officer Aaron Rizzo at aaron.rizzo@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference   
   case number 24-803066. Those with information can also contact the SafeOregon
