Youth Hoops Coach Jailed On Sex Abuse Charge

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland-based youth basketball coach has been arrested on charges of sex abuse, unlawful sexual penetration and burglary.

West Linn police arrested 32-year-old Kumbeno Memory on Thursday.

Memory has coached basketball clinics for children and teenagers at Riverplace Athletic Club for Hoop Dreams Basketball, an organization that includes the I-5 Elite AAU program that competes nationally.

The Riverplace Athletic Club declined to comment on Memory's charges Saturday.

No one at a southwest Portland apartment that is listed as Memory's address could be reached for comment Saturday.

In an interview with FOX 12 in July, former Portland Trail Blazer Ime Udoka said he formed the I-5 Elite youth basketball team because he wanted to help area players get into college. He said he trusted Memory to help run the program.

In an OregonLive report from earlier this year, Memory said he played four years of high school basketball at Jefferson High School and three years of college basketball at small colleges before he started his coaching career.

You gotta change that title!

Typical Fox "reporting".

Just the headlines, no facts, imply fantastic lies you know to be untrue. Trust that your viewers are stupid enough to let their imaginations run with it.

Accuser is NOT a youth, and NOT a player. No connection of this vague crime to the fact he is a youth coach, so why is his unrelated occupation not only part of the headline, it's really the only factual info provided by the reporter at all.

Fox has a habit of "reporting" things they know nothing about, and they've done it again.

I hope for the sake of our Justice System he's guilty of something, because his life is now ruined forever, guilty or not.

I have to admit... that was a damn confusing article. The headline certainly does make you think it involved a kid... it says authorities are tight-lipped... then lists the charges... then says they would not comment on the details... then in the next sentence comments on the details. Good grief. I go to Hawthorne Farms which is a sister club of Riverside... and was looking at signing my kid up for the basketball lessons last week.

"Authorities remained tight-lipped Monday about the charges filed against a Portland-based youth basketball coach.

Police arrested 32-year-old Kumbeno Memory on charges of first-degree sex abuse, first-degree burglary and unlawful sexual penetration on Thursday. He was arraigned one day later.

Prosecutor Greg Horner would not comment on the details of the case. He said the crimes have nothing to do with Memory's capacity as a youth basketball coach and it does not involve any underage people."

I may not go as far as you, but I can tell you from personal experience that the local Fox network delights in doing real hack jobs on people and also makes it a direct point to never come back and straighten things out when their stories are proven wrong.

The third freaking paragraph says very clearly "Prosecutor Greg Horner would not comment on the details of the case. He said the crimes have nothing to do with Memory's capacity as a youth basketball coach and the case does not involve any underage people."

Where are the lies?

You expect people to read until the third paragraph? You give the average person a lot more credit than I give them. MARIS seems like a headline skimmer to me. He probably loves the AP, because they never mislead the reader in their headlines.
