Oregon State Police looking for an Alabama man wanted in Wasco County on sex crime charges

Oregon State Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man accused of multiple sex crimes against children under the age of 12.

Deputies say Adam Renk, 39, is wanted in both Oregon and Alabama for sex crimes against child victims.

On June 21, 2024, OSP detectives responded to a sexual abuse report made by a minor. The child named Renk as the attacker.

The OSP says Renk has since been indicted on multiple crimes against a child victim under the age of 12. He is charged with Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the First Degree, Sodomy in the First Degree, and Sexual Abuse in the First Degree.

As part of their investigation, OSP detectives learned Renk had been charged in another case involving a child victim in Mobile, Alabama. The Alabama charges include Child Sexual Abuse and Torture involving an 11-year-old victim.

According to Mobile, AL charging documents, Renk is accused of restraining the child in a "torture room."

Renk’s co-defendant in the case, 42-year-old Natasha Still, is charged with child abuse for allowing Renk to abuse a child in her care.

The victims in the two states are not related.

Alabama law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Marshals Service are attempting to locate Renk who posted bond in Alabama and was released from pre-trial custody.

Renk was last seen leaving Alabama on August 7, 2024. He has ties to Oregon and Wasco County. and is believed to be traveling in a converted Ford Ambulance that is now painted two-toned white over gray.

Renk is described as a white male, 6 ft. 1 in. tall, 175 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair.

Anyone with information about Renk’s whereabouts or information about possible additional victims is asked to contact the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office at 541-506-2580 or OSP Detective Cassie Bantz through dispatch at 800-442-0776 or by dialing OSP (677) on a mobile phone.
