HILLSBORO, Ore- On July 1, 2026, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Proctor sentenced Sage Robert Tarango to 150 months in prison after a jury trial in which the defendant was found guilty of multiple charges, including rape, strangulation, unlawful use of a weapon, and assault. Deputy District Attorneys Katherine Miller and Mark Richman prosecuted this case.
On January 4, 2024, Beaverton police responded to a report of domestic violence. They learned the defendant had entered the victim's home and forced her into a backroom. Officers entered the apartment, located the defendant, and arrested him. Investigators spoke with the victim and learned of additional instances of domestic violence perpetrated by the defendant.
The Washington County District Attorney's Office acknowledges the work of the Beaverton Police Department on this case. We also commend the bravery of the victim throughout the legal process.
Mr. Tarango will be transferred to the Oregon Department of Corrections to serve his sentence.
