Banks, Oregon - A former volunteer firefighter has been cleared of all sexual abuse charges, including inappropriately touching high school girls. The charges against Dale Evers, of Banks, were either returned not guilty or dismissed in Washington County court on Friday.

Evers was found guilty of a less serious charge of furnishing alcohol to a minor. And yet another case involving Evers ended Friday with a hung jury, according to court records.

Evers was arrested after a 22 year old woman told authorities he abused her 10 years ago on a farm in Banks when he was 32 and she was 12.
