HILLSBORO, Ore.- On June 27, 2023, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Eric Butterfield found Aubrey Ryan Quinn-Ward, age 26, guilty of Online Sexual Corruption of a Child in the First Degree following a bench trial. Deputy District Attorney Conor Jones prosecuted the case against the Defendant.

On September 2, 2022, the Washington County Sheriff's Office conducted a child predator sting aimed at identifying individuals willing to engage in sexual activity with children. Undercover detectives posed as teenage boys and girls on social media platforms associated with child sexual abuse. The detectives posed as 15-year-olds and directed interested suspects to a location in Beaverton, Oregon where they would meet the purported child.

The Defendant communicated with a detective claiming to be a 15-year-old girl. In text messages, he discussed having a sexual interaction with the purported 15-year-old and agreed upon a location for them to meet near her house. The Defendant then arrived at the agreed-upon location and was arrested without incident.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the work of the Washington County Sheriff's Office on this case.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 29, 2023. 

HILLSBORO, Ore.- On June 15, 2023, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Ted Sims found Hugo Agustin Correa-Sanchez, age 45, guilty of Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the First Degree, Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the Second Degree, two counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, eight counts of Luring a Minor, and one count of Purchasing Sex with a Minor following a bench trial. On June 22, 2023, Judge Sims sentenced the Defendant to 375 months in prison. Senior Deputy District Attorney Allison Brown prosecuted the case against Mr. Correa-Sanchez.

In June of 2022, the victim contacted Beaverton police to report sexual abuse committed by the Defendant. She detailed years of abuse, which began in Hillsboro, Oregon, and continued in Beaverton, Oregon, spanning several years. The abuse began when she was just eight years old. The victim provided additional information to investigators including inappropriate sexual messages and photos sent to her by the Defendant. The victim explained that she had tried to report when she was younger, but no one believed or supported her. 

Beaverton police arrested Mr. Correa-Sanchez. He denied any wrongdoing.  He admitted the inappropriate messages came from his phone but denied intending them for the victim.  Investigators found he had deleted many of these messages on his own phone. 

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office wishes to commend the victim for her bravery in reporting this abuse and confronting the Defendant in court. This office also thanks Beaverton police for its work on this case.

In addition to the prison sentence, lifetime post-prison supervision of the defendant was ordered by Judge Sims as well as sex offender registration.  Mr. Correa-Sanchez will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence.

HILLSBORO, Ore.- On June 8, 2023, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Erik Buchér sentenced John Richard Movick, age 61, to 225 months in prison. On April 10, 2023, a jury found the Defendant guilty of three counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree and Luring a Minor. The jury was hung on two counts of Sodomy in the First Degree and one count of Incest.  Deputy District Attorney Rayney Meisel prosecuted the case against Mr. Movick.

In March of 2021, the victim’s mother contacted the Oregon Department of Human Services after her daughter disclosed sexual abuse committed by Mr. Movick, her stepfather at the time. The victim told investigators of numerous occasions in which the Defendant groomed and sexually abused her between the ages of five and nine years old.

The victim’s mother detailed the toll the abuse took on her daughter in a powerful victim impact statement read during the defendant’s sentencing hearing.

“What John did to [my daughter] will affect her the rest of her life. She was robbed of her innocence. John played mind games with her to make her think she was the guilty one. The trauma affected her ability to trust others,” the victim’s mother wrote.

[The victim’s] mental and physical health have also suffered. Her academic performance has become erratic. Her grades and concentration and motivation vary widely. She still experiences depression and anxiety. Smells, sights, and sounds trigger the memories of his abuse.”

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office wishes to commend the victim for her bravery in reporting the abuse and for facing her abuser in court. This office also thanks the Washington County Sheriff's Office for its work on this case.

Mr. Movick will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence.

The Washington County District Attorney's Office released the results of a Washington County Major Crimes Team investigation into the death of Bryce Bybee while in custody in the Washington County Jail.  The investigation concluded that there is no evidence to support criminal charges related to the death.

At the time of his death, Mr. Bybee was in the custody of the Washington County jail facing charges including Robbery in the First and Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.  A circuit court judge ordered Mr. Bybee to be transported to the Oregon State Hospital for mental health treatment, but that transport did not occur.  Mr. Bybee was found unresponsive in his jail cell on April 17, 2022.  Despite lifesaving efforts, deputies and medical personnel were unable to revive him.  An autopsy determined the cause of death to be "[c]omplications of schizoaffective disorder and self-neglect" and the manner of death to be "undetermined."  

Oregon law requires the District Attorney and Medical Examiner's Office to investigate deaths of incarcerated persons.  The Washington County Major Crimes Team, under the direction of the District Attorney, conducted this independent investigation.  A copy of a memorandum summarizing the investigation and legal review is available here and a letter from District Attorney Barton to Sheriff Garrett is available here.
