Oregon Doctor David Farley Indicted on 11 Felony Counts in Years-Long Abuse Case

State prosecutors took over the case following a flawed local investigation.

Overview

  • Farley surrendered at the Clackamas County Jail and was arraigned Friday, entering a not-guilty plea.
  • A county grand jury charged him with nine counts of sexual abuse and two related felonies tied to three patients between 2009 and 2020, including one under 14.
  • A judge set bond at $500,000, permitted travel out of state if posted, and scheduled trial to begin December 6.
  • More than 160 former patients—reported as at least 170—have accused him of misconduct at his West Linn clinic and at Providence and Legacy hospitals.
  • The Oregon Department of Justice is prosecuting after a review found West Linn police mishandled the earlier probe, and a related civil case is set for a January 2026 jury trial.
