Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend April 17, 2005 Multiple child-abuse charges filed against Rogue River man A Rogue River man has been jailed on multiple felony charges of secretly videotaping visitors to his West Evans Creek Road home, police said. Stephen Gayle Calhoun, 52, was arraigned this week on 15 counts of first-degree encouraging child sexual abuse. Calhoun was originally arrested April 8 on misdemeanor charges of invasion of personal privacy after at least one visitor to his home in the 9800 block of West Evans Creek Road discovered hidden video cameras there, Jackson County sheriff’s Lt. Dewey Patten said. Investigators served a search warrant at the home last weekend and are now reviewing seized tapes that were allegedly used to secretly record several people, including children, as they dressed or disrobed. Patten said the images could be considered "offensive" to those taped, although he would not provide further details. "This is kind of unusual," Patten said of the case. "We don’t usually see this sort of clandestine videotaping in a home." The investigation is continuing. Patten said additional charges against Calhoun are pending, as detectives have not yet identified all of the people who were allegedly videotaped at the home. Anyone who has visited Calhoun’s home is asked to contact the sheriff’s department at 774-6816. Calhoun is being held in the Jackson County Jail on $50,000 bail, a jail spokeswoman said.
