Serial kid robbers sentenced to 8 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to multiple offenses in Spokane County Superior Court

On August 25, 2021, Charles Green, 59 years old, pleaded guilty to two incidents of second degree assault (DV) and of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. As part of that plea deal, Green also pleaded guilty of first-degree child abuse and two second-degree child abuse cases in May.

Green was charged with 26 crimes involving 16 child victims before pleading guilty on 6 of the 26 counts.

In May 2018, two teenage victims reported Green sending sexually explicit messages to his children’s friends. SPD detectives soon discovered allegations that Green had committed over 50 crimes involving more than 16 girls ages 11-17 for immoral purposes, possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit behavior, and multiple charges of drugs to minors (including methamphetamine and marijuana).

Green was sentenced to 98 months of life imprisonment. As a condition of his plea for first degree child abuse, Green must file a petition showing that he no longer poses a threat to society in order to be released. In the event of a release, Green would have to register as a sex offender.

The SPD takes all allegations of sexual assault very seriously and is committed to vigorous investigations.
