HILLSBORO, Ore- On February 17, 2026, a Washington County jury found Kentrell Jourdan Mack Yates, age 21, guilty of multiple charges, including rape in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, and sexual abuse in the second degree. Deputy District Attorney Alyssa Camp prosecuted this case before Judge Andrew Erwin.
 

Two cases were consolidated for trial. In June of 2025, the defendant met the first victim, who was a minor at the time, and invited her to go swimming at an apartment complex in Washington County. When they got to the pool, the defendant suggested they use the private sauna. Once inside, the defendant began making sexual advances on the victim. He held her in place while he sexually assaulted her. She was eventually able to escape and later reported what happened to law enforcement. Detectives with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office began making attempts to find the defendant. During the investigation, they located a second victim who had conceived a child with the defendant while she was still a minor.
 

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commends the victims for their bravery in reporting the defendant’s actions. This office also thanks the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, CARES Northwest, and Randall Children’s Hospital for their work.
 

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 30, 2026.
