Medford, OR — Numerous sex charges have been filed against a Southern Oregon man accused of abusing boys he met at motorcycle and motocross events, the authorities said.

Daniel Zeman, 65, of Central Point has been charged with sodomy, sex abuse and encouraging child sexual abuse.

Zeman was being held this weekend in the Jackson County Jail on more than $4 million bail.

A dozen people have come forward to claim they were sexually abused by Zeman when they were between the ages of 9 and 16, Medford police Lt. Tim George said.

Zeman, who has no previous felony record in Oregon, has been held in jail since Jan. 10, when he was arrested following a monthlong investigation.

More charges were added Friday.
