Blake Northway, 56, was sentenced Wednesday in Jackson County Circuit Court after admitting to sexually abusing an underage female family member between March 2009 and September 2018. Northway had been assigned to ICE’s Medford office but was placed on leave after his arrest Sept. 13. None of the charges stemmed from Northway’s ICE duties.
