Narrative:
On June 14th, 2021 at 8:27pm, an employee of Juniper Swim and Fitness called dispatch to report that a sex assault had just taken place in the parking lot of the swim center. The employee was relaying the information that had been immediately reported to her by the 16 year old victim of the assault.
Arriving officers learned that the victim had been walking to her car when she was approached from behind by John Maguire Jr., who was unknown to the victim. Maguire Jr. started talking to the victim, sharing personal information, and tried to hug her. The victim fought back, trying to push Maguire Jr. away. Maguire Jr. then touched the victim inappropriately and kissed her. The victim continued to fight back until Maguire stopped the assault and left the area.
The victim was able to recall very specific details of Maguire’s clothing and statements he made, which enabled responding officers to locate Maguire in a house near Juniper Swim and Fitness Center, where he was arrested. Once officers contacted Maguire, they also learned that he had a felony warrant out of Douglas County.
Maguire was transported to the Deschutes County Adult Jail for the following charges:
