Beaverton Police Arrest Nurse on Sex Abuse Charges

Beaverton Police Friday night arrested a nurse on sex abuse charges, alleging he committed his crimes against patients while working at Kaiser Permanente.

Alex Matthew Woolner, 37, is charged with multiple counts of sex abuse, invasion of privacy, and computer crimes.

Police say that he accessed their medical records to get their cell phone numbers.

He would allegedly text women, recommending additional medical procedures and suggest they call him directly as opposed to calling the clinic.

Woolen had worked at the clinic on SW Western Avenue from January through the end of February.

The investigation started at the end of January after a woman came forward saying that she had been subjected to both physical and verbal sexual contact.

As police investigated, they say, they discovered more victims.

They think there may be still more victims out there and the investigation is continuing.
