On March 4, 2022, a Washington County jury found Hector Moises Estrada-Vargas guilty of two counts of first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse. Deputy District Attorney Sara Loebner prosecuted the case before Judge Brandon Thompson.Â
This is a historical sexual abuse case involving two victims known to the defendant. The abuse took place decades ago but was not reported until 2020 when the defendant attempted to contact one of the victims. The victim mistakenly believed the defendant lived outside the country and decided to report the abuse when she realized he was still living in the area.
The Washington County District Attorney’s Office commended the victim for reporting this abuse.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 19, 2022.Â
