Our biased PDX news media missed that one.
I'm glad you spent your own time searching for that video to document it.
Even if it is just one or two young people among the 5000 - 7000
people in Occupy Portland, it deserves being reported.
Like you, concerned citizens need to stay informed.

Here's one you missed, unfortunately it's the only one I could find.

Sex offender registers Occupy Portland camp as address

PORTLAND, Ore. – A sex offender who registered his address with police
as the Occupy Portland camp downtown is concerning some protesters who are camping there.

But then... maybe there's a cover up going on

KATU News searched for Curtis in sex offender databases in Oregon, Washington and California.
His name did not appear.
The Occupy Portland public safety team says they still take this seriously.
“I personally will engage with police if that’s necessary and we’ll take care of the problem,”
said public safety team member Nat Holder. “It’s zero tolerance for violence.”
26 people patrol the camps at night, according to public safety team members.
Despite one report of a possible sexual assault police could never confirm,
most protesters told KATU News they are not concerned about their safety in the camps.
