HILLSBORO, Ore- On November 4, 2024, Judge Kathleen Proctor sentenced Maxwell Alexander Floyd, age 30, to four years in prison and ordered he register as a sex offender. This sentence comes after the defendant pleaded guilty to attempted sexual abuse in the first degree, furnishing alcohol to a minor, and luring a minor. Deputy District Attorney Matt Wise prosecuted this case.

In January of 2022, officials with the Clackamas Children’s Center alerted law enforcement about a possible case of child sexual abuse. The teenage victim reported that the defendant had abused her multiple times. She told investigators with the Tigard Police Department that Mr. Floyd would provide her with alcohol before abusing her. She also reported lewd and inappropriate text messages sent to her by the defendant. 

Investigators confronted Mr. Floyd with these allegations. He denied some of the details provided by the victim but did admit he gave her alcohol, sent her inappropriate messages, and acknowledged other grooming behaviors detailed by the victim. 

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office wishes to acknowledge the work of the Tigard Police Department, the Clackamas Children’s Center, and the Oregon Department of Human Services for their work on this case. This office also commends the victim for the bravery shown in reporting the defendant. 

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