DV project director accused of harassment resigns

'A domestic violence project director accused of harassing the president of the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce has resigned, officials said Thursday.

Tanya Curtis Richards, 58, had been leading the effort to open the Family Justice Center of Washington County, which would offer services and resources for victims of domestic violence in one location. She voluntarily stepped down as project director, said Hillsboro Police Chief Lee Dobrowolski, who serves as chairman of the center's board.

Richards had been pursuing a friendship with the Beaverton chamber leader, Lorraine Clarno, and contacted her repeatedly from April 2014 until Jan. 28 of this year, said Officer Mike Rowe, a Beaverton Police spokesman.

Clarno didn't want any contact with her, he said, and asked Beaverton Police Chief Geoff Spalding to tell Richards to stop. The chief did so in a meeting Nov. 25.

Later that same day, Richards contacted Clarno again, Rowe said. According to court records, the charges against Richards stem from the November contact she had with Clarno.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office investigated a similar case involving Richards and she was arrested in April 2011 on a stalking accusation, said Sgt. Bob Ray, an agency spokesman. Court records indicate she was never charged in that case.'
