A Washington County jury convicted Melissa Stephens, 56, on all charges, including first-degree rape and sex abuse.

Investigators said Stephens, who was the director of the Willow Cottage Arts and Academics Program in Tualatin, Oregon engaged in sexual acts with a 10-year-old boy about six years ago. The abuse continued for about a year, authorities said.

Stephens stepped down from her position in 2009.

Her sentencing is scheduled for Tuesday.

School Director Who Abused Boy Sentenced

May 25, 2010

A Tualatin school director who sexually abused a young boy was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison.

Melissa Stephens was also sentenced to 20 years of post-prison supervision, and she must register as a sex offender.

Stephens stepped down as the director of the Willow Cottage Arts and Academics Program in Tualatin after allegations surfaced that she engaged in sexual acts with the 10-year-old victim.

Stephens, who is married, abused the boy over the course of a year, authorities said. Police said the student came forward five years after the abuse.

In court Tuesday, Stephens said very little and smiled at times after the judge read her sentence.

Stephens' defense attorney, Daniel Cross, said he still believes his client is innocent. He said the jury that convicted her simply got it wrong.

"We feel that the outcome was unfortunately incorrect. In general, we have a great jury trial system in this country, (but) it doesn't get it right every time," he said. "This is one of those sad times when it got it wrong."

Stephens was found guilty of rape, sex abuse and sodomy earlier this week.
