A substitute teacher in Washington County has been detained on suspicion of sexual abuse. In April 2023, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office investigated the Hillsboro School District’s special education assistant for possible sexual misconduct with a student off campus.
Upon learning that Yessenia Manriquez Casillas, a 22-year-old Beaverton resident, worked for the Hillsboro School District in the Century High School cafeteria, detectives from the Violent Crimes Unit decided to place her under arrest.
Manriquez Casillas allegedly picked up the student at an off-campus party and subjected her to sexual abuse. In June, after a grand jury in Washington County reviewed the evidence, an indictment for Manriquez Casillas’s arrest was issued. The accused was arrested on June 14 after police visited her house. Manriquez Casillas is accused of sexual assault four times, each charging him with the second degree.
