On August 3, 2016 Luis Hernandez-Sanchez’s June 23, 2016 Washington County Circuit Court sex crime convictions were appealed (A162764) to an Oregon Court of Appeals (COA) who on May 25, 2021 overturned the majority sex crime convictions against him because of the non-unanimous jury verdicts, except for the conviction of one count of First Degree Sex Abuse.
Furthermore, the Oregon COA remanded the sex crime case against Luis Hernandez-Sanchez (Case Number: C152335CR) back to the lower Washington County Circuit Court.

Deputy District Attorney Chris Lewman prosecuted the case against Mr. Hernandez-Sanchez.
In 2015, the victim told a friend that the defendant sexually abused her. That friend alerted her father who then called police. Beaverton police and investigators with the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) met with the victim. She told them the defendant abused her multiple times over a period of several years. Police arrested the defendant who denied any wrongdoing.
The Washington County District Attorney’s Office wishes to commend the victim for reporting this abuse. This office also thanks Beaverton police, ODHS, and CARES Northwest for their work on this case.
