Jesse Calhoun is accused of killing several women and disposing of their bodies in the Portland area. The victims’ bodies were found over multiple months in early 2023. Ashley Real, who was 22 years old when she died in 2023, had previously alleged that Jesse Calhoun had choked her. Calhoun was arraigned on a fifth murder charge in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, Oregon, according to gdelt. His defense attorney entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf during the arraignment, according to gdelt. Calhoun has been charged with five counts of second-degree murder and four counts of abuse of a corpse, according to gdelt. Prosecutors intend to try all five killings together next year, according to the Guardian.
