The Frightuary haunted house is closing in the wake of it owner's arrest for felony charges in an underage sex case.

"It was scheduled to be open (in October), starting the build in September," said Debi Bone, the event's stage manager, "but with recent events with the owner, The Frightuary will no longer exist."

The business organized and sold tickets to an annual Halloween haunted house at the Lane Events Center.

William C. Hamann, 37, who also is a first-grade teacher at Spring Creek Elementary School, was arrested on July 26. Lane County prosecutors have charged him with third-degree sodomy, two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, first-degree online sexual corruption of a child, using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, two counts of prostitution and third-degree sexual abuse. The first four charges are felonies.

Hamann, a Creswell resident, is the manager and only member of Fearscape Productions LLC, which put on The Frightuary, according to state business records.
