Michael Ma Sentenced to 500 Months in Prison in Child Sexual Abuse Case (Photo) - 10/07/24

HILLSBORO, Ore- On October 3, 2024, Michael Ma, age 40, was sentenced to 500 months in prison by Washington County Circuit Court Judge Erik Buchér. This sentence comes after a jury convicted the defendant of three counts of rape in the first degree, three counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, one count of unlawful sexual penetration in the second degree, and one count of attempted sexual abuse in the first degree. Deputy District Attorney Jason Weiner prosecuted the case against the defendant.

The defendant sexually abused the minor victim over the course of multiple years. In January of 2023, the victim disclosed the abuse to a family member and a school counselor. Both parties reported the abuse to the Oregon Department of Human Services. Beaverton police and medical experts from CARES Northwest interviewed the victim and she provided additional details of the abuse. 

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the victim for the bravery shown in reporting this abuse. This office also acknowledges the work of the Beaverton Police Department and CARES Northwest. 

Mr. Ma will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence.
