HILLSBORO, Ore- On June 28, 2024, a Washington County jury found Wilfredo Aguilar-Pineda, age 33, guilty of two counts of Rape in the First Degree (Jessica’s Law), Sodomy in the First Degree (Jessica’s Law), two counts of Rape in the Second Degree, two counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, and two counts of Luring a Minor. On July 8, 2024, Judge Erik Buchér sentenced the defendant to 50 years in prison. Senior Deputy District Attorney Andy Pulver prosecuted this case.
The defendant began sexually abusing the victim in this case when she was a young child. The abuse continued over a period of several years and took place in several different jurisdictions. In 2022, occupants of the victim’s residence walked in on the defendant and victim under a set of blankets in bed. The victim disclosed the abuse to a family member later that evening. A mandatory reporter learned of the disclosure and alerted the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS). Hillsboro police launched an investigation. The victim met with medical experts at CARES Northwest where she provided a detailed description of the abuse she suffered at the hands of the defendant.
The Washington County District Attorney’s Office wishes to acknowledge the bravery of the victim in reporting this abuse. This office also thanks ODHS, the Hillsboro Police Department, and CARES Northwest for their work on this case.
Mr. Aguilar-Pineda will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to serve his sentence.
