The Women of an Oregon Suburb Have Said for Years Their Family Doctor Abused Them. Now He’s Facing Criminal Charges
David Farley faces 11 felony counts for abusing three patients from 2009 to 2020 amid a civil suit by over 150 women and children, officials said.
- Friday, a grand jury indicted David B. Farley, the former West Linn family doctor, on an 11-count felony indictment for sexual abuse spanning 2009–2020, prosecutors say.
- A Clackamas County grand jury recently declined to charge Farley after witness testimony, while four women first reported abuse five years ago and more than 150 patients later joined complaints.
- The indictment specifies multiple first- and second-degree sexual abuse counts, including four first-degree and five second-degree charges plus penetration counts, many involving minors with minimum 6 to 8 years per charge.
- On Oct. 10, 2025, Farley was booked and arraigned in Clackamas County Circuit Court, Judge Ann Lininger set bail at $50,000, and Farley pleaded not guilty through counsel.
- A pending civil suit by more than 170 plaintiffs seeks almost $1 billion in damages, while Farley surrendered his license after the Oregon Medical Board revoked it and fined him $20,000.
