Oregon youth cheer coach arrested on sex abuse charges
An Oregon youth cheer coach was arrested and hit with sex abuse charges on Friday, capping a three-week investigation into an allegation of sex abuse at a local gym.
Police nabbed Anthony Trenkler, 27, after luring him onto a street corner in St. Helens, according to a statement from the St. Helens Police Department. Detectives then executed a search warrant, seizing additional evidence, police said.
Police began investigating the cheer coach Aug. 13 following a report made about Trenkler’s conduct while he was working at Vault Elite in St. Helens, police said. Once the probe began, additional victims were located, police said.
Vault Elite fired Trenkler in August after they learned of the investigation, according to the gym’s Facebook page, and asked parents to attend a meeting Aug. 15 to address concerns.
“Vault Elite has terminated this coach’s contract, and we are fully cooperating with local law enforcement to ensure our athletes are safe,” the gym said. “He will no longer be allowed in our gym and our athlete’s safety remains our top priority. Classes and camps have been canceled until further notice.”
Trenkler was initially hit with a count of sex abuse and two counts of attempted sex abuse, but charges were later expanded to six counts of sex abuse, plus the attempted sex abuse charges, police said.
Police are concerned that there may be additional victims, and are asking anyone with information to come forward.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
