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.
