PORTLAND — Two people convicted of trafficking a girl and 30 men accused of buying sex from her are facing consequences in a case involving abuse that began in 2020, Portland police and Multnomah County prosecutors said Wednesday, Oct. 7. The girl was between 13 and 17 during the abuse, which police said involved trafficking through the internet and on the street. Detectives began investigating in 2023. The two convicted traffickers, Kai’leif Newcomb, 24, and Domonique Williams, 34, were found guilty of compelling and promoting prostitution, among other charges. Newcomb was sentenced to 15 years in prison and Williams to 19 years. In addition to the two traffickers, six other people have been convicted in the case, officials said. Sixteen men have been arrested and have pending cases. Police are seeking eight more men who have warrants for their arrest. Prosecutors said they believe more buyers may have been involved and are working to identify them. Deputy District Attorney J.R. Ujifusa said the case concerns local children being exploited by local men, and that investigators and prosecutors intend to hold both traffickers and buyers accountable. Portland Police Sgt. Onest Robert, who works in the bureau’s human trafficking unit, said the city has recently seen more children being trafficked. “Our goal is to make this stop,” Robert said.
