In defence, Opetaia’s lawyers say the boys have subsequently spent time in prison together and concocted stories of abuse in an effort to get compensation from the Accident Compensation Corporation. One of the complainants has since died but his 2018 police interview has been played to the court. The man said he was in his early teens when he was living with Opetaia and other boys at the gym. He and another boy decided to burgle a property near-by. But he said Opetaia spotted them when they came back to the gym. He said when the other boys left the gym to go on their various courses for the day, Opetaia invited the boy to his bedroom.

As we’ve blogged about previously here, here, and here, in 2019, the Oregon legislature passed a paid family and medical leave (“PFML”) law which provides Oregon employees with up to 12 weeks of paid leave for a covered purpose through a payroll tax; Oregon employers with at least 25 employees are covered by the new program. Employer contributions do not begin until 2022, and benefits are not available to employees until 2023. However, the Oregon Employment Department (“Department”) has begun drafting administrative rules to govern the program. The Department released its first set of draft rules on an “informal” basis late last week. The Department will conduct “formal” rulemaking next year.
