On Sunday, August 1, 2021, at 12:07 a.m., Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a prowler at the Reedville Meadows Apartments located at 2867 SW 209th Avenue in Beaverton. The apartment complex is part of the Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District (ESPD). Deputies were told a man was looking into the bedroom window of a three-year-old and one-year-old child while masturbating.
When deputies arrived, they contacted 30-year-old Daniel Stephens of Beaverton sitting in his vehicle and noticed he was not wearing pants or underwear. Stephens admitted he had been masturbating in the apartment complex's parking lot before they contacted him. Deputies also learned a camera in the children's room recorded Stephens masturbating while looking into the window of the children's room.
The parents of the children told deputies that they recognized Stephens as an employee of a local pizza restaurant who had delivered pizza to their home a few months prior.
Deputies arrested Stephens and later transported him to the Washington County Jail, where he was charged with public indecency.
Detectives from the Violent Crimes Unit believe there could be additional victims. If you, or someone you know, have any information about Stephens, please contact the Washington County Sheriff's Office at (503) 846-2700.
Members of the Violent Crimes Unit are called upon to investigate serious violent crimes such as homicides, suspicious deaths, adult sexual assaults, kidnappings, robberies, extortion, serious assaults, elder abuse, and missing persons.
