Lane County, OR – A Lowell man has been sentenced to five years in prison following an investigation by the Lane County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, officials confirmed this week.
According to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, detectives executed a search warrant on November 25, 2024, at a residence in the 500 block of N. Moss Street in Lowell. The warrant was part of an ongoing ICAC investigation focusing on online child exploitation.
Deputies said the suspect, 25-year-old D’Angelo Ke’Shawn Ford, was contacted and arrested separately. A firearm was found inside his vehicle, and Ford was booked into the Lane County Jail on multiple child exploitation and weapons charges.
On September 29, 2025, Ford pleaded guilty to three counts of Encouraging Child Sex Abuse in the First Degree, four counts of Invasion of Personal Privacy in the Second Degree, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. He was sentenced to five years in the Oregon Department of Corrections and three years of post-prison supervision.
The case involved assistance from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Springfield Police Department, Oregon State Police, Cottage Grove Police, and the Oregon Department of Justice.
Authorities say the conviction underscores a continued statewide effort to combat child exploitation and protect vulnerable individuals across Oregon.
