A Portland State football player is in custody on charges of sex abuse, harassment and resisting arrest for actions that occurred at West Hall early Sunday morning.

Abraham David Gertson, 20, is in custody at the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly fighting with Campus Public Safety officers, according to the campus crime log released by the Campus Public Safety Office.

At 2:10 a.m., officers responded to a report that a female was fondled without permission. When they arrived at the residence hall, Gertson fought with officers, hitting one officer and causing a severe laceration to another officer’s hand from glass in his backpack.

Gertson, a freshman defensive tackle, is a native of Beaverton and a graduate of Westview High School.
