Beaverton, Ore. — Washington County’s sheriff’s deputies arrested a 40-year-old man accused of assaulting a teenage girl.
The sheriff’s office says the victim did not know the man, who was identified as Phillip Banuelos. He faces charges of assault, kidnapping, harassment, strangulation and sex abuse.
Authorities say the incident occurred Saturday evening in the Cedar Hills area near Beaverton.
The victim was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.
Banuelos remained jailed Sunday, and it was not clear whether he had an attorney who could comment.
