MEDFORD – A grand jury has indicted a man accused of forcing a woman to have sex with people who gave him money and methamphetamine in exchange.

Medford police are searching for 24-year-old Shaun Patrick Temple, who faces charges of rape, sodomy, delivery of methamphetamine, promoting prostitution and compelling prostitution.

Detective Sgt. Mike Budreau says Temple met the woman late last month in downtown Medford. The woman was new to town and met Temple after she had a falling out with friends.

Budreau says for three days Temple took the woman to motels and apartments, where she would have sex with people who gave Temple money and drugs.

Detectives found the people who had sex with the woman, and they testified during Thursday’s grand jury hearing.
