HILLSBORO, Ore- On January 6, 2026, a Washington County jury found Andrew Ross Alcante Jr., age 62, guilty of sodomy in the first degree (two counts), attempted sodomy in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree (three counts), luring a minor, and using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct (two counts). Two of the counts fall under Jessica’s Law. Senior Deputy District Attorney Chris Lewman prosecuted this case before Judge Kathleen Proctor.
The defendant sexually abused two young children. The abuse came to light in December 2023, when one of the victims reported the abuse to a family member. The second victim came forward after the initial disclosure. Both victims were interviewed by medical experts at CARES Northwest, where they gave additional details.
After the third day of trial, the defendant returned home, where he overdosed on drugs. He survived but was hospitalized, causing a three-week delay in trial proceedings.
The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the victims in this case for their bravery throughout this process. This office also acknowledges the work of the Beaverton Police Department and CARES Northwest.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for February 24, 2026.
