Excerpt from the article

In 2017, incarcerated and formerly incarcerated sexual assault survivors who had faced sexual violence behind bars brought a lawsuit against Klein and the Oregon Department of Corrections. The state paid $1.87 million to settle the civil lawsuits involving Klein, but after an investigation by the Oregon State Police that same year, prosecutors declined to press criminal charges against him in August 2018. At the time, prosecutors said the victims’ accounts were unreliable and the case was “unsupportable” as a whole—a decision that’s reflective of the endemic mistreatment and dismissal that incarcerated survivors face.

After the state settled with the victims behind the 2017 lawsuit, more of Klein’s survivors came forward, and in March 2022—four years after prosecutors decided against filing criminal charges against Klein—the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon finally filed criminal charges against him.
