How Could You? Hall of Shame-Keith Allen McMullin

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Milwaukie, Oregon, foster and adoptive father Keith Allen McMullin, 45, was convicted on February 1, 2013 of 10 counts of first-degree rape, 10 counts of first-degree sexual abuse and two counts of first-degree sodomy on one of his 4 foster-to-adopt children. The girl’s abuse began in 2004 when she was five years old and lasted until 2011. There is only one media article we can find on this case.

Keith had been a foster father to 29 children. There is no indication that the other 29 children will be assessed for any abuse.

He was sentenced to the mandatory 25 years in prison.

“McMullin, who had no prior criminal record, was sentenced under Measure 73, which went into effect in December 2010. The law requires a 25-year prison term for repeat felony sex offenders. Even though McMullin was convicted of all the crimes at the same time, the law classifies him as a repeat offender.

Prosecutor Stacey Borgman asked for a 50-year sentence — 25 years each for two rapes that occurred after Measure 73 became law. Borgman said the magnitude and time span of the crimes merited 50 years behind bars.

Clackamas County Circuit Judge Jeffrey S. Jones said the law was clear. “The court has no discretion to impose anything other than 25 years.” He ordered a second 25-year to be served concurrently.

McMullin declined to make a statement during the sentencing, which was attended by about 35 of his supporters, many from his church.

McMullin once operated copy centers in Milwaukie, Oregon City and West Linn. He and his wife were unable to have biological children. They became active foster parents and adopted four children.”

The majority of article comments support the convicted adoptive parent and suggest that the adoptee has been shunned by her family and church. The comments indicate that Keith had been charged with many other counts than what he was convicted of.

  1. read the blog freedomforkeith.blogspot.com

    • I read some of it– the guy’s stance seems to be “The victim still has a hymen, so no harm, no foul. She still gets a white wedding, so she has nothing to complain about.” Apparently, this guy doesn’t understand what “sodomy” means, let alone that huge psychological trauma can result from even non-penetrative sexual abuse.

      The blogger also seems to think it was a violation of his client’s civil rights that the accuser’s side of the story was even PRESENTED to the jury. He claims that as “Lie # 1”.

      I quit reading after “Lie # 5”– that the testimony of experts in child sexual abuse who’d interviewed the girl were allowed to testify. Willed stupidity can’t be reasoned with.

      • I find your reasoning right,

        • You find the reasoning right? You mean that you lied and you can justify it? Do you find it right that you have put a innocent man in prison?
          Do you find it right that you have since this put a SECOND MAN IN PRISION FOR THE SAME THING???? You Angela McMullin need help. This is behavior indicative of a sociopath perhaps Astrin Ymris was not aware of that portion of the story when he went off half cocked about his theory’s. You’re a sick child and may I pray you get the help you need.

  2. Omg that wasn’t me that said that!! I’ve been looking back at my story especially because the whole freedom for Keith thing is going on and I’m hurt who ever thought it was funny to put me in the comments and write what they had said. It is rude and not ok what so ever and should be reported. This is not a joking matter and everyone is trying to tell me I’m lying and now someone has stepped over the line and pretending to be me and that is just not ok!!!
