IRRIGON, Ore. (AP) — Felony charges have been filed against an Irrigon High School senior accused of assaulting a woman.
The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office arrested 19-year-old Hernan Hernandez Vera on three counts of first-degree sodomy.
The sheriff’s office says it received a report late Tuesday from Good Shepherd Medical Center in Hermiston that an 18-year-old woman had been the victim of sexual assault in Irrigon.
Deputies arrested Vera the next day.
Vera, who was set to graduate Friday, is in a cell the sheriff’s office rents from the Umatilla County jail in Pendleton.
