Salem, Ore. — Salem Police Special Victims Unit detectives arrested a local barber in connection with a sex crimes investigation.

Eron David Griffin, age 42, of Salem, became the focus of an investigation that began in October 2023 after teen victims reported being subjected to sexual contact during visits with him. Griffin was subsequently arrested on several charges, including three counts of third-degree sexual abuse and commercial sexual solicitation.

Based on the investigation, detectives suspect there may be other minors who were victimized by Griffin who ran the barbershop from his residence. Anyone who has had similar incidents involving Griffin, or who may have information relevant to the case, is asked to contact Detective Sabrina Hunter at 503-540-2443.
