PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) – A 33-year-old man was sentenced to 37.5 years in prison after being convicted of committing sex crimes against children, according to court records.
Nathan Oxford was sentenced on Monday by Multnomah County Judge Kathleen Daily.
Legal observers were watching the case carefully because Oxford had requested a new trial. He made the motion after conviction and without going through the court of appeals. On Monday, Judge Daily denied his motion.
In July, a jury found Oxford guilty of two counts of first-degree sodomy for one of the child victims. He was also found guilty of five counts of second-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse for the second child. He was acquitted of wrongdoing on charges that pertain to third alleged victim.
Court records show that the crimes involved known parties and occurred between 2011-2014.
The case was investigated by the Multnomah County Child Abuse Team.
