DALLAS (OR) – On July 13, 2026, a Polk County Circuit Judge found Philip James Mancuso, age 37, guilty on all charges related to his years-long sex abuse, sodomy, and incest of a minor victim under the age of 12.
Judge Rafael A. Caso found Mancuso, of Dallas, guilty after a multi-day trial of four counts of Sodomy in the First Degree, two counts of Sex Abuse in the First Degree, and one count of Incest. Polk County Deputy District Attorney Shannon Clausen presented the case to the Court.
Investigation and prosecution of this matter began in 2024 based on an initial report to DHS Child Welfare authorities. Ultimately, Mancuso was located in the state of Ohio after the issuance of a Grand Jury warrant and returned to Oregon by Polk County Sheriff’s deputies to stand trial.
The Polk County District Attorney’s Office commends the victim and her family for their strength and courage throughout this process. We also recognize the thorough investigations of the Dallas Police Department, Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Salem Police Department, and the Fairfield County (Ohio) Sheriff’s Office. Additionally, we deeply appreciate the assistance of the Oregon Department of Human Services (Child Welfare Division) and the Governor’s Office of Extraditions.
A sentencing hearing has been set for July 21.
