Portland police mishandled Al Gore sex abuse case, Chief Mike Reese says | OregonLive.com

Rosie Sizer was chief when the alleged assault occurred and when Hagerty gave her detailed statement but police did no follow-up, interviews or examination of potential evidence.

Contacted Thursday, Sizer said she had been aware that a statement had been given to police but she thought the victim didn't want to prosecute. She said, though, she doesn't recall when she learned about the complaint or that there was a two-year interval between the complaints.

"I was aware there was an allegation, and, at some point, a statement. I didn't read it, but it was my understanding the victim didn't desire prosecution," Sizer said. "When there's an allegation of this nature involving a prominent individual, typically that information is brought up the chain of command."
