Comment on Oregon State’s Luke Heimlich pleaded guilty to sex charge in 2012

Oregon State’s Luke Heimlich pleaded guilty to sex charge in 2012

In an editorial accompanying the article, the newspaper said it learned about Heimlich’s 2012 conviction while doing a routine background check before running a lengthy profile on him. Heimlich failed to renew his registration as a sex offender in Oregon within 10 days of his most recent birthday and was cited in Benton County on a misdemeanor charge that was dismissed last month, according to court records. Oregon State spokesman Steve Clark declined to say when Oregon State became aware of Heimlich’s status as a registered sex offender or answer any questions about the case, citing federal laws that protect student privacy. The state police provide the school with a list of registered sex offenders who are affiliated with the campus on a regular basis, Clark said, and the school then interviews each person and puts safeguards in place to protect other students and staff.
