During the service of a search warrant on Wednesday, June 19, Jackson County Sheriff’s detectives arrested 35-year-old Jed Randall Burns, a registered sex offender, for crimes associated with attempts to lure a teen girl for sex.
The investigation began in February 2019 with a cyber tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding sexual images of a child shared online. The information was passed to the Oregon Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office to continue the investigation.
Detectives identified Burns as the suspect in the case. Detectives say Burns contacted the 17-year-old victim using social media and texting, and then made attempts to meet her in person for sexual purposes.
Investigators are concerned Burns may have additional victims in the Jackson County area who have not yet come forward. Anyone with information can call the JCSO tip line at (541) 774-8333.
