Tigard Man Indicted On 14 Counts Of Sex Crimes Against A Minor
- 05/12/26
A Tigard man has been indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury on 14 charges relating to sex crimes against a minor, including 12 charges that are Measure 11 crimes.
Sithideth Boualywath, age 54, is now in the Washington County Jail.
The Tigard Police Department first learned of this case in March 2026. Detectives who conducted an investigation believe Boualywath repeatedly committed horrific acts against a minor over the course of more than three years.
On April 27, 2026, a judge signed a search warrant for Boualywath’s home. On April 28, 2026, officers preparing to serve the warrant saw Boualywath drive away from the home. Officers conducted a high-risk traffic stop to take Boualywath safely taken into custody, and the warrant was served on his home that same day.
On May 4, 2026, a Washington County Grand Jury heard the case and indicted Boualywath on the following charges:
- Sodomy in the first degree (x2)
- Sexual abuse in the first degree (x8)
- Rape in the first degree
- Unlawful sexual penetration in the second degree (x2)
- Using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct
Details about the identity of the survivor or the relationship to Boualywath will not be disclosed. Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Unit would like to commend the survivor for the bravery shown throughout the investigative process and court process to date. We’d also like to thank our partners at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Forest Grove PD and Beaverton PD for their assistance in the investigation.
If you or someone you love is being abused, you can report it by calling police dispatch at 503-629-0111, the Family Peace Center at 503-430-8300 or the Centralized Child Abuse Reporting Hotline at 855-503-SAFE to reach the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) directly.
