Oregon woman accused of forcing sex, meth on pre-teen

McMINNVILLE, Ore. — A McMinnville woman faces multiple charges involving the alleged forcing of methamphetamine and sex on a preteen girl over five years.

Jennifer Lynn Chasteen, 25, faces charges of sodomy, sexual penetration, and delivery of a controlled substance.

She also faces charges of sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a minor.

Indictments are expected next week. She was arraigned Tuesday.

Judge Cal Tichenor set bail at $800,000.

Police said charges were brought after the girl confided in her parents this month, triggering an investigation by the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office.

She told officers that Chasteen had abused her several times a year for several years.

She also told them Chasteen had forced her to smoke or snort meth on at least four occasions, causing her to feel frantic and disoriented.

On meth, she said, she would hear voices, break into tears, fidget uncontrollably and feel like her mind was racing out of control.

She said Chasteen threatened to tell everyone she was a lesbian if she didn't cooperate. The victim said Chasteen's two toddler daughters were present during some of the episodes. Chasteen is next scheduled in court Jan. 24.
