PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A jury in Washington County found a man guilty of sexually abusing his female victim multiple times.

Miguel Zambrano, 39, was convicted of first-degree sodomy, three counts of first-degree sex abuse and attempting to use a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct.

Officials said the victim wrote about the abuse in her journal in Oct. 2020 and showed the entries to a friend, who convinced the victim to tell her mother about the abuse.

The victim’s mother then notified law enforcement about the allegations, which led to an eventual arrest.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4, at 1:30 p.m.
