4 Young Girls Molested By Portland Man, Beaverton Police Say

BEAVERTON, OR — A 32-year-old Portland man accused of molesting four girls between 10 and 15 years old was arrested by Beaverton police in December. He was indicted in Washington County Jan. 2.

Fernando Manuel Lugo-Gongora was arrested and lodged at the Washington County Jail Dec. 22. He's been charged with seven counts of sex abuse and one count of unlawful sexual penetration. His bail is set at $25,000.

According to court documents obtained by Patch, Lugo-Gongora began molesting the daughters of family acquaintances on May 10, 2014, and continued the behavior through August 2016.

In November 2014, Lugo-Gongora was arrested and charged with assault for a domestic violence incident in Portland involving his wife and daughter. The charges were later dismissed.

Based on Lugo-Gongora's apparent predation on prepubescent girls, police said they're looking for other victims in the community who may want to come forward.

Anyone with additional information about Lugo-Gongora that could help the investigation is asked to call the Beaverton Police Department at 503-629-0111.
