Beaverton Man Sentenced to Prison for Shooting 16-Year-Old Girlfriend
A Washington County Circuit Court judge has sentenced Sky Alexander Korbut, 20, to 70 months in prison for shooting his 16-year-old girlfriend in Beaverton in November 2024.
On November 21, 2024, at approximately 4:55 a.m., Beaverton Police officers responded to an assault with a weapon call at a residence on SW Prairie Terrace. The 911 caller, Sky Alexander Korbut, who was 18 years old at the time, reported that he had accidentally shot his 16-year-old girlfriend.
Officers arrived to find the victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. She was transported to a local hospital with critical injuries.
Korbut was initially arrested on charges of Assault in the Third Degree and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. As the investigation progressed, detectives uncovered additional evidence, including statements provided by the victim that contradicted Korbut’s account of the shooting.
Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, Korbut was indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury on charges of Assault in the Second Degree (Measure 11) and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.
Following a week-long jury trial in April 2026, Korbut was found guilty on both charges.
Last week, a Washington County Circuit Court judge sentenced Korbut to 70 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections.

In June of this year the Beaverton Police Department began an investigation into 24-year-old Abdullah Al-Bustami of Portland after an adult female victim alleged he met her at her place of work and later raped her.
The victim told investigators she first met Al-Bustami when he came into the store where she was working. They exchanged phone numbers and began talking. Al-Bustami later offered the victim a ride home. Once in his vehicle, Al-Bustami allegedly drove to a secluded parking lot and raped the victim.
On July 8, 2026, Beaverton police officers contacted Al-Bustami and arrested him. On July 14, 2026, a Washington County Grand Jury indicted Al-Bustami on the following charges.
- Rape in the First Degree
- Sodomy in the First Degree (three counts)
- Sexual Abuse in the First Degree (four counts)
Al-Bustami is currently in custody at the Washington County Jail.
Based on the nature of this case, Beaverton police detectives believe there may be additional
victims in the greater Portland metropolitan area and the Salem area who have not yet come forward.
