SPOKANE -- While Pamela Ortega, the Grant County woman accused of sexually abusing her children live over the Internet, remains in jail, the father of one of the children she abused has broken his silence.
Pamela Ortega is charged with raping her daughter and son as well as molesting a two-week-old infant she was babysitting as men watched over the Internet using webcams.
Jeff Cole dated Ortega for several years. Together they had a son. He simply could not believe what the mother of his child is accused of doing to their son. In fact he has only one question for her: “Why? Plain and Simple. Why?”

Recently a detective came to Jeff Cole’s home and told him his ex-girlfriend had been systematically raping and molesting their son.
“I didn't know what to think,” Jeff said. “It was news I did not think I would ever hear; it was beyond comprehension.”
In 2003 Cole and Ortega had a son together. Cole saw his son every other weekend but the little boy lived with his mother in her apartment in Warden.
“I didn't think she'd be capable of this, but apparently I didn't know her that well I guess. I don't know.”
Court documents say for a period of several months Ortega raped her and Cole's son and her daughter, at the direction of men watching on webcams around the world.
“It rips me, grabs me, turns my stomach, just think about what happened to him,” Cole said.
“He also seems like he's not even affected by it, but I know he is, it’s that confusion it causes him, he's gonna be scarred for his whole life,” Cole added.
Jeff has seen his son twice since Ortega was arrested. He says he hopes his son will be allowed to live with him soon. Meanwhile Pamela Ortega’s trial is scheduled to start later this month.
