DALLAS (OR) – Troy Louis Meza, of Salem, has been sentenced to 75 months (6 years, 3 months) in prison after pleading guilty in Polk County Circuit to one count of attempted sodomy in the first degree and one count of failing to register as a sex offender.
Meza, 48, appeared before Circuit Judge Rafael A. Caso on February 13, 2026 for sentencing on both matters. The attempted sodomy case stemmed from a 2023 incident in which the victim was 13 years old at the time of the offense. The failure to register case stemmed from an incident in which Meza had failed to keep his address current with the state’s sex offender registry. Meza is required to register due to a prior conviction for Sex Abuse in the Second Degree. Judge Caso also required Meza to serve a 24-month term of Post Prison Supervision.
The case was investigated by the Dallas Police Department, Oregon State Police, and prosecuted by Polk County Deputy District Attorney Shannon Clausen.
