ASTORIA — A Washing- ton state man was sentenced today to more than 30 years in prison for raping a Cali- fornia girl in 2015 and leav- ing her in a car in Astoria. Russell Wayne Deviney, 50, of Everett, Washington, pleaded guilty last week to first-degree rape, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, first-degree sodomy and us- ing a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct. He originally was also charged with first-degree kidnapping, three counts of first-degree sexual abuse and second counts of the four charges for which he pleaded guilty before eventually reaching a deal with the Clatsop County District Attorney’s Office. Authorities say Devin- ey abducted the 15-year-old girl in Sanger, California, in May 2015 after posing as an 18-year-old man on Ins- tagram. After fighting with her mother one night, the girl allegedly left her house and entered a 2004 Nissan pick- up driven by Deviney, who had encouraged her to do so through the social media app. “I suffered and was tor- tured mentally,” the girl said in a statement read today in court by Clastop Coun- ty Deputy District Attor- ney Ron Brown. “No child should have to consider the COLIN MURPHEY/EO MEDIA GROUP Russell Wayne Deviney, cen- ter, was sentenced today in Clatsop County Circuit Court for the 2015 abduc- tion and sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl from Cali- fornia he met online. question, ‘How do I kill this guy so I can go free?’” Deviney, authorities say, drove north without let- ting the girl leave the car. He raped her at a rest stop somewhere in Oregon and took pictures of her perform- ing sex acts. He then parked at McDonald’s in Astoria, which police said was not his final intended destina- tion, and left the girl behind and fled. Police arrested him south of Cannon Beach later that week. The plea agreement in- cluded a presumed sentence ranging from more than eight years to more than 33 years in prison — or exactly 400 months. Following statements by Brown, the girl, her mother and Sanger Police Detec- tive Romero Garcia, Circuit Court Judge Dawn McIn- tosh’s intentions were clear. “How do I get to 400?” the judge asked Brown. Le- gally, though, she conclud- ed she could only sentence Deviney to 370 months. In testimony before the court, Deviney described his past life as a married man with eight children, a job as a computer programmer and no prior convictions. “I just really want to say how sorry I am,” Deviney said. “I am a father and I do understand this situation was a bad situation. This situation escalated into something I had never intended.” But McIntosh found the rest of his statement to be too centered on self pity rather than remorse for the victim. “I’m not going to lecture you because, frankly, I don’t think it will make much of a difference,” McIntosh said. The two-year legal bat- tle before the guilty pleas involved multiple motions that included requests for text messages on Deviney’s phone and video surveillance from a Walmart in Salem. Federal prosecutors, who considered charges stem- ming from the FBI’s involve- ment in the investigation, agreed not to pursue further charges. Brown, Garcia and the girl’s mother all noted that the young woman went miss- ing on Mother’s Day. “I cel- ebrate Mother’s Day every day because I have her,” the girl’s mother said.
