Portland, OR. – Official Release: On Thursday, December 19, 2024, the Portland Police Bureau’s Human Trafficking Unit (HTU) conducted a directed patrol mission along NE 82nd Avenue and NE Sandy Boulevard in response to ongoing community complaints and observed nuisance/livability activity. HTU was assisted by East, North, and Central Precincts, Detectives Division, Special Resources Division, Victim Services Unit, Multnomah County Parole & Probation, Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, and Safety Compass.
The following individuals were arrested or cited for ORS 167.008 Commercial Sexual Solicitation (CSS) and/or Portland City Code 14A.40.50 Unlawful Prostitution Procurement Activities (UPPA):
Raymond Campos, 27, Portland, OR
Blake Dufault, 31, Vancouver, WA
Valentin Guzman-Garcia, 40, Vancouver, WA
Yousif Ishag, 49, Salem, OR
Dylan Jenkins, 35, Beaverton, OR
David Machic Riscajche, 24, Portland, OR
Felix Reyna Mandujano, 48, Forest Grove, OR
Antonio Riscajche, 20, Portland, OR
Douglas Xiquin-Zapeta, 23, Portland, OR
As part of the mission, a total of two cars were towed and information was gathered related to other providers, suspected buyers, and ongoing trafficking investigations. HTU continues to utilize the partnership of PPB’s Victim Services Unit and Safety Compass for street level outreach for identified providers. Safety Compass is a non-profit organization that offers advocacy services to individuals under the age of 25 who identify as survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Approximately 7 providers were contacted and offered assistance and/or resources by PPB’s Victim Services Unit and Safety Compass.
HTU cases are complex with several identified barriers such as repeated traumatic exposures, trauma bonds with traffickers, and fear of retaliation. The survivors in these cases are often reluctant to come forward, make a report, and/or continue through the criminal justice process. HTU continues to offer trauma-informed, victim-centered services, in conjunction with PPB Victim Services Unit advocates and community-based partnerships like Safety Compass.
If you know or suspect someone is being trafficked, please call 911, PPB’s non-emergency line 503-823-3333, or the National Human Trafficking Hotline 1-888-373-7888.
