On Friday, March 15, 2024, Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies received a call from a female community member about a suspicious encounter she had with 55-year-old Jimmy Jen Liu. The woman reported that she responded to an ad on Craiglist looking for a housekeeper and ultimately went to Liu’s home in Aloha.
Not long after she arrived, Liu subjected the woman to unwanted contact by grabbing her bare feet and rubbing them on his face. The woman left the home and called police. During the investigation, deputies discovered that there was another woman who reported similar behavior by Liu in February 2024. This person was also responding to an advertisement seeking a housekeeper.
Liu was arrested at his home and booked into the Washington County Jail for harassment and sexual abuse in the third degree. Liu was arraigned on Monday, March 18, 2024, and the additional charges of attempted sexual abuse in the third degree and attempted harassment were added.
Investigators have discovered that Liu has an expansive presence on social media. Liu has shared content seeking a housekeeper since as early as 2017. Liu also has advertised math tutoring services to children.
Deputies believe that there may be additional victims of Liu’s. If you have any information about Liu, please contact non-emergency at 503-629-0111.
