On Friday, May 23, 2025, at approximately 9:50 a.m., Medford Police officers responded to the intersection of Central Avenue and 9th Street, near the Medford Library, for a report of indecent exposure.


Witnesses reported seeing a male and female engaged in sexual activity in public. Upon arrival, officers quickly determined that the activity was not consensual and detained the male suspect on scene.

 

The investigation revealed that the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Malachi J. Pollard, and the 68-year-old female victim were not known to each other. Evidence indicates that Pollard forcibly initiated sexual contact with the victim.


Pollard was arrested and lodged at the Jackson County Jail on the following charges:


-Attempted Rape in the First Degree

-Attempted Sodomy in the First Degree

-Sexual Abuse in the First Degree


Pollard is currently on probation for non-sexual assault-related offenses and has a significant criminal history. Investigators do not believe that this suspect is related to any unsolved similar crimes in the area. This case has been referred to the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office.
