Mark & Katherine Hoffman Are Pedophiles
September 16, 2008 by impqueen
Portland, OR - Mark and Katherine Hoffman are a couple who inspire fleeting thoughts of excruciating revenge in those of us who advocate for sexually abused children.  Mark Hoffman is currently awaiting trial on over 70 (yes, SEVENTY) state and federal sex-related charges in connection with child pornography and the rape of his own children, one as young as a year old.   His wife, Katherine Hoffman, has now been arrested because she knew what her man was doing – and helped.Â
You know how sometimes you get a wild, unbidden urge to discipline an abusive parent with a power drill? Well, charge up your virtual Makitas, denizens, and make sure you have the “Pedo-popper” attachment set.  This case is so nasty I had to walk away yesterday and come back to it this morning. Not even kidding.
Mark Hoffman got busted earlier this year when an FBI child pornography task force noticed that his IP kept showing up on their radar. After an investigation, Hoffman was indicted in federal court on sexual exploitation of children and possession of child pornography charges.
As a result of all the kiddie porn found in his house and on his computers, Hoffman is facing district court charges in Portland. He’s accused of trafficking in sexually explicit photos of his young children from January 2006 through Feb. 11, 2008. That’s right, his own young children. Two of those children, now ages four and five, are now in foster care – I’m not sure where the third child is.
Oh, but denizens, there’s more.  In Oregon state court, Hoffman will stand trial on 70 charges from as far back as 2004. The evidence in that case includes video of Hoffman sexually abusing his children. One allegation is that he raped his own baby girl when she was just one year old.  One. Year. Old.
Wanna be even more disgusted? His wife knew about it.  Court documents allege that Katherine Hoffman, 33, was aware of the abuse and child pornograpy as far back as 2005. But did KatherineKatherine reviews
go after with her man with a gun? Did she divorce him, take her children, and run far far away?
Of course not. If she had, her sorry-ass picture wouldn’t be up on our front page, would it? No, Katherine decided to stay with the pedo she loved and LET HIM CONTINUE. I know, right? She didn’t get medical care for the children after their father raped them. She didn’t lock their bedroom doors at night and sleep in the hall. She didn’t even turn the bastard in. Instead, she left him alone with the children like nothing was wrong – and then tried to hide or destroy his computers and other evidence. Yeah, that’s a woman who deserves a little of what she dished out.
Mark Hoffman will face trial on three counts of first-degree rape, three counts of first-degree sodomy, three counts of unlawful sexual penetration, 23 counts of first-degree sex abuse, 23 counts of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct and 15 counts of encouraging child sex abuse. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges, and I’m wondering how that’s gonna fly considering most of the evidence is on video.
For her part, Katherine Hoffman was indicted last week and arraigned on FridayFriday reviews
in Multnomah Circuit Court. She has pleaded not guilty to charges of tampering with evidence, four counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and second-degree encouraging child sex abuse, and hindering prosecution.
Tell me it’s not just me. I can tolerate a lot of stuff. It’s horrible enough that this father raped his babies and then distributed the video online. But their mother? Their own mother, who knew this was happening and didn’t even take the babies to the ER to get stitches? Because you know they needed them when that rat bastard got finished. Adult penis does not fit in toddler orifices without something giving way most of the time.
I don’t know what the sentencing guidelines are for the Hoffman’s crimes in Oregon. I hope that life in prison without parole is a real possibility, because people like this should never get out. Never.
So Jaded is disgusted in our forums, too.

ugh. I don’t even know what to say. these babies had NO ONE to turn to and probably thought this was a normal part of life. They will never have a shot at a normal life. These assholes should be tried for murder. They murdered their souls.
9:11 am on September 16th, 2008
This is THE most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard. They should both fry!
And, really. That’s a WOMAN?????
9:22 am on September 16th, 2008
Oh my God. This is just horrific. Once again a bitch picking penis over children. Brain cells non existant…
How is he walking around with SEVENTY charges against him? I hope they rip is balls off and replaced his eyes with them. Bastard.
And her…not worthy of life.
9:35 am on September 16th, 2008
Here we go again…. Well we will all see how the justice department really treats this one, in my opinion, alll evidence is there and he and she are found guily, not only would i place them right away on death row, but i would execute them tomorrow, no no no our system,how we all read about it, does not focus on the poor poor victims,inthis case it is those poor children who had to endure this abuse for years, the mother is a piece of garbage we all agree and the father, if that is what we call him, is another piece of garbage, why pay for garbage to lay around in prison UNTIL THEY START EXECUTING GARBAGE LIKE THIS THEN THE FREAKS STILL REMAIN ALIVE, BREATHING, EATING, WHATEVER, KILL THEM NOW
I would love to be the “EXECUTIONER” I would have no problem with these two at all
9:44 am on September 16th, 2008
Oh.My.God. How can anyone do something like that to their own children? And the mother? Basically condoning it? I have a new Smith & Wesson .40 that needs a good workout, anybody got their address? I could use them for target practice. I have 3 fourteen round clips to go with it.
9:48 am on September 16th, 2008
*blah, yuck, spits and gags*
He a slow deserves tortuous death, she deserves to stand by and watch (that what she’s good at). Then hang her in the Towne Center for all to see.
9:54 am on September 16th, 2008
Poor kids
This makes me sick!!!!
10:07 am on September 16th, 2008
I’m just disgusted at how people treat their kids like garbage sometimes. There’s a rant brewing here but I think that’s all I want to comment right now without spewing obscenities.
10:12 am on September 16th, 2008
What kind of twisted fate brings two people like this together in “holy matrimony”? There should be a special place in hell for parents like this. I agree with Kathy – those babies had no one. I wonder things like… did these people have jobs, did they seem like normal people in society, did the 5-year old go to kindergarden, were they acting like normal PTA parents? Can they be the people next door? That’s what keeps me up at night.
10:21 am on September 16th, 2008
These 2 need to be raped and beat then hung in center square for what they did to these kids. They are filthy vile people and all like them should die. You cant cure people like this so just kill them already
10:53 am on September 16th, 2008
I am stunned, just stunned. The evil that lives in our would is too hard to conceive. My whole body just seized up at this post. I can’t move, I can’t breathe. My heart and soul are hurting for these poor children more than I can say.
The death penalty is too easy for these pieces garbage. Oh, give them the death penalty, please. But then just drop him GP for a few weeks of fun with Bubba and then lets put him in a trash compactor and dance with glee while he’s slowly crushed to death.
Has anyone noticed he has the one eye thats higher than the other? Watch your neighbors people, if they have that pedo eye thing going, Move ASAP.
As for the egg donar? Of course the death penalty too. But she should get dropped in the men’s GP too for a few weeks and be brutalized and then I think drawing and quartering would be a better death. Pulling the limbs off will hurt way more than hanging, hanging snaps the neck to too fast.
I hope these children are too young to remember any of this as they grow older, but I doubt it. Poor precious little ones who had no one……
11:46 am on September 16th, 2008
I agree with all of you above and your statements but now all we can do is pray for those poor children that had to go through the horror and hopefully that they will get some peace and a loving home who will work with them and make them to grow to be good individuals, it will take so much time i am sure, THESE TWO MAKE ME SICK AND I WISH NOTHING BUT THE WORST FOR THEM BOTH, I SURE HOPE THE JUDGE TOTALLY WILL FIND IN HIS HEART TO ACTUALLY GIVE THEM THE DEATH SENTENCE AND REALLY STICK TO IT
12:22 pm on September 16th, 2008
I don’t even know where to begin. I am truly physically ill. I can’t even think of a punishment cruel enough. And she looks like the lady across the street. And they don’t let any neighbors in their house ……
However, there are a good many domestic calls to that address, which usually spills over to the outside. Makes the Anthony’s look tame. (This is a mid-middle class neighborhood, not that it matters, just saying.) Makes for good evening entertainment, though (as long as you stay inside). I worry so about the five y.o. He’s wise beyond his years, with a vocabulary to go along.
For my own safety, I stay clear. I do, however, love my nosy next-door neighbor who looks out for me. We moved to this neighborhood for the safety issues when our boys were young. Now I know way too much about this family from my on-line snooping. Little things adding up to larger things …………… I do know CPS has visited the home regarding the youngest.
I agree with all of the above — nothing but the worst for these two, but especially the mom.
1:16 pm on September 16th, 2008
Now, I do my best to be a supporting wife, but like most rational human beings, I have my limits. What this bitch did goes way beyond limits.
I live not too far away from Portland; if she doesn’t get just as many years in prison as her husband, I’ll do my best to track her down and find a way to make her life a living hell.
5:01 pm on September 16th, 2008
Jesus Christ on horseback. This made me feel physically ill. These people deserve to die, very slowly and painfully. I don’t even have the words to say how angry this makes me. this mother needs to be punished, so badly and so horribly. You let your babies suffer horribly and left them in agony for some man. Don’t care that he’s your baby daddy or husband or whatever the fuck he is, your children should be precious enough for you to protect them somehow. This makes me want to suck on a shotgun.
5:55 pm on September 16th, 2008
First of all, let me pop everyone’s bubbles before it goes too far – This woman will NOT get as much time as her husband. She didn’t exact the abuse herself, so, generally, that’s how it works.
That said, I’m glad these fuckers got caught in Oregon. Their prison system doesn’t fuck around. Harsh sentencing, prison labor…It’s not a cake walk, down there. And, while I’m not positive, I think they’ve got a similar policy to Washington State in that, even if a sex offender has completed his sentence, they can keep him in jail if they deem him dangerous. That’s how it ought to be done.
Hopefully, this man takes his last breath in prison (child rapists are real popular, you know), and this woman is torn to shreds by prison mates.
6:56 pm on September 16th, 2008
Ok…..I don’t think I have read about 2 more disgusting people.
I just pray that they die and it is slow and painful
Fuckin idiots
Those poor little children.
11:18 pm on September 16th, 2008
*gag* how are the kids gonna turn out? poor lil’ babies. makes my heart hurt!
11:27 pm on September 16th, 2008
I’d say he should be raped in prison – I would hate to waste a Bubba boner on him. Just kill him. He shouldn’t walk this planet for another minute. As for the cunt mother – Let Bubba rape her sorry ass and let’s all stand around and watch. She is a sick whore. ugh!
12:14 am on September 17th, 2008
Man, I’d like five minuets with this d-bag, and the wife looks like she could use a good cunt-punt.
12:18 am on September 17th, 2008
Cunt-punt?? Damn… That fuckin’ hurts me!
2:54 am on September 17th, 2008
I find myself wondering why I am drawn to this site. I wonder if any of you ask yourselves the same question. Sad, terrifying, vile, macabre, the whole gamut of the dark side of the human soul marching in a seemingly endless, soulless parade. I shut my browser suddenly; I cry, I hate, I commit murder in my mind; and then I come back and read some more.
It’s a wonderful site; highly informative, IMP’s writing is consistently devastating. She shines the light on terrible tales that every decent human being should be made aware of. Certainly many judges (especially in my pathetic, backwards State of Vermont) could learn a thing or two from this site–for example, you can’t cure mutations, all you can do is either lock them away or kill them. Simple stuff, but PhDs and legal scholars often don’t seem to get it.
But yet, after a long hard day, I found myself back here, wondering if there were any new horrors posted. I wasn’t disappointed. This one is particularly the stuff of which nightmares are made. And some more of us “threw up a little in the mouth” and fantasized about sticking his Hoffman’sown testicles into his child-lusting eyes. And yes, somehow the mother seems worse, she always seems worse, the silent watcher of unspeakable horror. I guess we expect more from women. That may be sexist, but I doubt it.
My life and home seems spanking clean and joyous and pure, I think, after I read these tales. Maybe that’s why I am drawn to the horror stories. Maybe I think I’ll be smart enough to see warning signs and give good advice if I am ever called upon to do so, like when I read about serial killers and fool myself into thinking they could *never* elude me. Pretty naive, I know.
I am not a mother. Typing that sentence hurt. I waited too long…for everything. I got married late, and we started trying late, and now, at 48, I am too old. I wanted it more than anything, and I actually loathe myself for waiting until life was perfect until I seriously tried. Life is never perfect; finances are never overflowing; nothing ever falls into line for starting a family. Life is messy and I waited for perfectly even lines, I waited for golden trumpets.
I would have been a wonderful mother. My husband would have been an adoring father. I know that. I guess I can’t help but wonder why things work out the way they do. The Universe has a funny sense of humor. “God,” David Steinberg said, “is a standup comic playing to an audience who’s afraid to laugh.”
Nice to meet you all.

Kill them
Kill them both
Kill them
6:39 am on September 17th, 2008
Hi Hannah. My life kinda follows yours a bit. i got married late and now a 42 find it a little too late to have kids. It makes me soooooo sad to hear of the abuse these childern and other childern like them have to put up with or worse are killed. Children are a gift…I wasn’t blessed with that gift but these women who are should be thanful to God and raise and protect their children not hurt or kill them or allow anyone else to.
8:12 am on September 17th, 2008
Hannah, I am sorry for your regrets.
Having said that — it may not be too late to adopt, if not an infant than a young child. I know it’s not the same in some ways, but it seems like you have a lot of love and joy to give someone and IMHO it is something you might consider.
Very heartfelt and well thought out post — something DD could use more of.
[No, I'm NOT ragging on the snarky profanity laced posts of anger. I LOVE that this site is uncensored and people can speak their minds.]
8:15 am on September 17th, 2008
Welcome Hannah! We’re glad you’re here.
Sadly, I know many women who’s stories match your own. Our generation bought the “miracle of medical science” hook, line, and sinker; we thought we could sow our wild oats, have a career, and decide later to have kids. It didn’t work out that way for so many.
I got lucky in the game of reproductive roulette, yet I was never sure I even wanted kids! It truly does come off as a sad joke of the cosmos…. I’m sorry for your pain.
And may Mark and Katherine Hoffman never know a moment’s peace or freedom in this life.
9:11 am on September 17th, 2008
Hannah, I am glad to meet you.
In March of this year, I adopted a 17 yr old and a 16 yr old (we’ve adopted two others and are waiting to finalize on another)
We’ve fostered babies and up; I wanted a baby so badly but never had one….but let me tell you, the teenagers we have now are the LIGHT of my LIFE. It’s hectic, and hard, and disheartening some days, but it’s the best and most joyful thing that has ever happened to me. It’s not for everyone, but I like to think that DH and the kids and I are making it work. If you ever want to PM me, feel free.
I’m logging off now….but let me add, I really don’t know why I keep visiting this site, either. The parents in this particular story are horrible and it happens far too often. Maybe I keep coming back to reassure myself that I have changed some things for the kids who have come to me, that they can continue to go on and have good lives…..
Sorry to be so dreadfully EARNEST. It’s one of my besetting sins.
9:27 am on September 17th, 2008
Brava, CNKC!! Lovely to hear of a committed adoptive family!
My sister fostered a teen, as well. Took her in when she was 14, and she is now a college graduate and adjusting well to life in the big, scary adult world. The rest of her bio siblings aren’t doing well, as none of them found a good foster placement that stuck. But watching my sister and her kid get through it all and come out with flying colors was nothing short of inspirational.
I just LOVE stories where the kids DON’T lose because of the errors of the parents. Your kiddos are lucky to have you CNKC!
4:03 pm on September 17th, 2008
Hannah – Please tell me that your middle name is not Rebecca. I have a freind named Hannah (middle name Rebecca). She is unable to have children. I told her once that I thought women like you (unable to have children) were to ballance out the fuckhead that shouldn’t have children. You have all the love in your heart that an adopted child would need.
BTW – Hannah and Rebecca are both women in the Bible that did not have children.
4:20 pm on September 17th, 2008
Thank you everyone, for the kind comments and warm welcome. April, I am not your friend Rebecca, I promise you.
My middle name is Hope. My real name is not Hannah, that was my mother’s name. It’s a little private nod to her, as I lost her not long ago.
CNKC, how wonderful for you about your adoption. I wish you and your new family the greatest of happiness.
Lakewriter, Ruby, thank you so very much for the note. I appreciate the warmth more than you know.
Claddaghgirl, thank you, too, for the note. I can definitely relate. I never thought I would get married and I married late–38–and life just got away from my husband and I. We should have gotten pregnant immediately. That keeps going through my mind until I feel I am going mad.
Adopting—if I were to consider it—would for me, have to be a baby. Our family doctor has said he can put us in touch with the right people if we were interested in adopting. I might work up enough bravery to discuss it with my husband. It’s not that I think he’s against adoption…but this topic has been on the back burner for so long I think I would shock the heck out of him by bringing it up at this point. We’ve spent years now working our butts off, getting our business off the ground, so that has sucked up our energy and dominated our reality.
Thank you again. You are a lovely group of people, and that is an understatement.
Hannah
5:17 pm on September 17th, 2008
Thanks for the good wishes, Hannah!
The way we about building a family wouldn’t work for everyone, but most days I feel pretty good about our situation. Everyone has different situations, though….I hope you find comfort on your path.
5:19 pm on September 17th, 2008
Miss Ruby, WE feel really lucky to have THEM! Thank you for your kind words.
5:52 pm on September 17th, 2008
what the goddamn fuck is the matter with these people??? i can’t even think of a punishment horrible enough.
10:31 pm on September 17th, 2008
Horrific.
4:56 am on September 18th, 2008
Kill the already,what and why are they still breathing
they are sick sick indiviudals
get them away from everyone and kill them

UPDATE here; http://www.kptv.com/news/18599428/detail.html
January 29,2009 KPTV-Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. — A man who’s accused of selling lewd photos of his children online and raping one of them pleaded guilty to dozens of charges Thursday.
Mark Hoffman appeared in a Multnomah County courtroom Thursday to plead guilty to dozens of sex-related charges. He and his wife, Katherine, both face charges following their arrests last year.
Federal authorities also said they think he took photos of his children and posted them online between 2006 and 2008.
After his arrest, the state placed two of his children in foster care.
Multnomah county prosecutors said in September that this is one of the most difficult cases they’ve handled.
Katherine Hoffman had previously pleaded guilty to encouraging child sex abuse and criminal mistreatment.
In a few weeks, Hoffman is will face a federal grand jury.
Authorities arrested Hoffman and accused him of raping one of his children when she was as young as 1-year-old.
Prosecutors said she(Katherine) tried to conceal the photos her husband is accused of taking. She will be sentenced in May.
Just a side note: Mark Hoffman’s other child, probably grown now, did not live with him, that child was in their mothers custody… Katherine bore the younger two..
Mark Hoffman will still be going before Federal Court sometime this month!
God Bless & Keep the two innocents safe & strong!
