Amezcua raped, molested and sexually

at Wildhorse Resort & Casino a few
miles east of Pendleton on the Umatilla

to harm her or her family if she told

The state also alleges Amezcua on
Aug. 21 possessed methamphetamine
and MDMA, or ecstasy, and provided
drugs to a minor.
Amezcua in a separate case has
pleaded not guilty to third-degree

Thursday in Lane County

accused and was denied
