Graphic details emerge on Newberg 'sex abuse ring'

NEWBERG, Ore. - Further information has been revealed in what has been called a "sex ring" in the Portland suburb of Newberg. KATU covered the first information on the bust early Wednesday morning.

Warning: The details below, provided to us by police, are graphic.

On Sept. 4 a 15-year-old girl disclosed to Newberg-Dundee police officers, 44-year-old Newberg resident Darrin Vaughn Daily, had given her marijuana and alcohol and had sex with her. During the investigation, a search warrant was executed for the residence at 720 South River Street, Apt B, Newberg, and evidence was seized.

During the investigation, detectives said they discovered that a 14-year-old girl also may have been a victim. During her interview, detectives said they learned Daily also engaged in sexual activity with her. The girl reported Daily had taken photographs during the sexual activity, which included occasions when she was tied up, occasions involving sexual intercourse with his dog, and occasions of group sex resulting from Daily posting a Craigslist advertisement inviting other adults to engage in sexual activity with the minor.

A second search warrant was executed and Daily's computer was seized, as well as other media storage devices. The Newberg-Dundee Police Department Computer Forensics detectives analyzed the computer and located many photographs of the 14 year old engaged in sexual activity with multiple adults as well as images of the minor engaging in sexual intercourse with the dog.

Images of a four year old being sexually abused also were found.

Detectives were able to locate three adult males who responded to the Craigslist advertisement to engage in sexual activity with the 14 year old, as well as one adult female who engaged in sexual activity with one of the minor females. The three adult males arrested were: 43-year-old Patricio Moreno of Forest Grove, 34-year-old Robert Thompson of Portland and 41-year-old David Garcia of McMinnville.

The adult female, Alisa Nice of McMinnville, has not been located for arrest at the time of this release.

Detectives were able to locate and interview the four year old in the images found on Daily's computer. The four year old disclosed being sexually abused by Daily and is currently being cared for with the assistance of Juliette's House Child Abuse Assessment Center in McMinnville.

Newberg-Dundee police credit their ability to analyze Daily's computer and retrieve the digital evidence in a timely manner with being able to locate, identify and apprehend those involved in the case.
