News Release

Man Arrested For Assaulting Adult, Trying To Meet Child For Sex (Photo) - 01/02/26

On December 29, 2025, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation after an adult reported being sexually assaulted. The suspect, 36-year-old Andrew Dwayne Graham, met the victim on a dating application and sexually assaulted the person in Portland and near Metzger Park.

 

Detectives with the Violent Crimes Unit learned Graham was trying to meet up with the victim again. Detectives were able to message Graham on an undercover phone number, leading him to believe he was still talking to his victim. During those chats, Graham expressed interest in meeting a child to pay for sex. He also offered to bring alcohol and marijuana for the group.

 

On December 31, 2025, Graham drove to Metzger Park, believing he was going to pick up the original adult victim and the child to take them to an area hotel. Instead, Graham was arrested by the Washington County Tactical Negotiations Team (SWAT) and turned over to detectives. Graham was arrested with more than $750 in cash, condoms, alcohol, and marijuana.

 

Detectives booked Graham into the Washington County Jail on the following charges:

  • Sodomy in the first degree
  • Felony strangulation
  • Commercial sexual solicitation
  • Online sexual corruption of a child in the first degree
  • Attempted compelling prostitution

Additional charges will be added as the investigation continues, and Graham is being held without bail pending the state’s request for preventative detention.

 

At the time of his arrest, Graham was living in Ridgefield, Washington, and has prior addresses in Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Idaho, and Florida. Graham is from Jamaica and may have used the false name “Michael.”

 

Based on the investigation, detectives believe there may be other victims and would like to speak with anyone who has additional information. Please call 503-846-2500 and reference case 50-25-18221 to speak with detectives.

 

Graham’s booking photo is being released to help identify additional criminal activity, in accordance with Oregon House Bill 3273.
