PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A jury unanimously convicted a registered behavioral technician who worked with children of autism of rape, sodomy and sexual abuse.

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office said Abigail Kim, 29, sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy with autism who was her client.

Prosecutor Melissa Marrero said Kim, who has a Master’s degree in teaching, had “significant sexual contact” with the boy after building a relationship over months. The DA’s office said when she was fired, Kim accused the boy of rape and sexual assault to deflect blame.

Kim was a mandatory reporter of child abuse and the jury found she violated her professional responsibilities.

The jury deliberated for an hour before returning the guilty verdict. Kim is scheduled for sentencing on May 24.
