Christopher Lucas, of Eugene Oregon, is apparently coercing his ex wife to re-marry him, using the threat of having friends or handlers high up in the Eugene/Springfield family court system take their children, and her children by a previous marriage, so she will "never see them again" as leverage.

In an ongoing situation that lasted a few years,

he was apparently grooming and allowing others to groom his one or more of his stepdaughters, taking and distributing lewd photos of them via a number of phones, and possibly also pimping them out.

The girls told a little bit and then clammed up and have never revealed anything else. Apparently they have been threatened similarly, family will be split up, never see mom or siblings again.

Apparently, Christopher Lucas is carrying on the multi-generational abuse learned from his mother and grandmother, who may also be involved in the trafficking.

He was gone, divorced, history, and she had the children back, the were mostly over it and making good grades again when he showed up last fall with this new coercion.

Who are the people emboldening him to do this? Are they doing it to re-establish access to those children?
