❗️UPDATE❗️
I have been in contact with the Executive Director of the Klamath Basin Senior Center.
She let me know Renee Towon has “assisted informally” and “(Ms. Towon) is not authorized to volunteer or assist in any capacity moving forward”.
I let her know that while I understand Ms. Towon is innocent until proven guilty, the charges against her are serious, and relate to the exploitation of a senior citizen in her county. My family believes her to be dangerous.
I appreciate KBSC looking into the matter, and believe the executive director when she says, “The safety and wellbeing of our seniors is, and will always remain, my highest priority.”

It has been brought to my attention that one of the defendants in my mother’s case ➖ RENEE PEREIRA (a.k.a. RENEE TOWON) ➖ has been volunteering at a local senior center in Klamath County, Oregon
(Klamath Basin Senior Center)
This is highly concerning.
RENEE TOWON is currently on release from the Klamath County Jail, after being indicted by a Grand Jury, charged with 13 FELONIES. Her indictment, list of charges, and photograph are below.
My mother was a senior citizen, and I do not want another family to endure what my family has to.
Please be cautious all.
