A 59-year-old man is accused in federal court of taking a 9-year-old girl and her younger sister from Alaska to Oregon and sexually assaulting the older girl in hotels and a Pendleton home he later shared with her mother, according to court records.
Federal authorities filed the charges after the Umatilla County district attorney bungled the prosecution of Steven Lee Fox in state court, according to Rachel L. Rothberg, a prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s child exploitation section.
