Fugitive Charged with Child Sex Crimes in Oregon and Alabama on the Run

A despicable man wanted for vile child sex crimes in both Oregon and Alabama is on the run, and Oregon State Police (OSP) is urgently asking the public for help in finding him.

This predator, Adam Renk, 39, has ties to Oregon, specifically Wasco County. According to a Wasco County indictment, this monster allegedly assaulted a young girl around June 1, 2020, but it wasn’t until September 4, 2024, that the indictment was finally filed.

It doesn’t stop there. OSP’s investigation uncovered that Renk has also been charged in Mobile, Alabama, for sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl. Sickeningly, he was let out of pre-trial custody after posting bond, but, unsurprisingly, has now fled, evading law enforcement in Alabama and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Renk was last seen on August 7, leaving Alabama like the coward he is, traveling in a converted Ford Ambulance—painted two-tone white and gray—trying to hide from justice.

This scum is a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 175 pounds, with blue eyes, brown hair, a handlebar mustache, and a tattoo on his left forearm and wrist.
