Police are asking for help identifying potential victims after a recently dismissed high school basketball coach in Marion County was arrested on suspicion of luring a minor.
Glenn William Norris, 56, of Junction City, has been indicted on charges of luring and also first-degree online sexual corruption of a child in Clackamas County Circuit Court. Oregon State Police arrested him May 27.
Norris was hired as the head girl’s basketball coach for the 2025-26 school year at Cascade High School in Turner. His contract was not renewed at the end of the season, said Gregg Koskela, a spokesperson for the Cascade School District, in an email.
The district has been informed of Norris’ indictment for soliciting a minor “in a sting operation,” Koskela said.
“While this is disturbing information, we have no information of any incidents related to Cascade students,” Koskela said. An Oregon State Police spokesperson said the arrest “was not related to Norris’ employment.”
Court documents state Norris shared with a law enforcement officer posing as a minor “an explicit verbal description or a narrative account of sexual conduct, for the purpose of inducing the minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.”
The alleged luring took place “on or about” May 13. The first-degree online sexual corruption is alleged to have taken place on the same date.
Norris previously coached elsewhere in the region, including as an assistant women’s basketball coach from 2009-14 at Bushnell University, which was known then as Northwest Christian University. An online biography from Norris’ time coaching at the college described him as earlier coaching at Monroe High School in Benton County and Elmira High School in Lane County.
People with information about possible victims may call 1-800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers are asked by Oregon State Police to reference Case No. SP26165006.
