BEAVERTON, Ore. — A Beaverton man was arrested Wednesday morning for multiple sex crimes, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
David L. Moore II, 36, of Beaverton was arrested on Wednesday at around 10:30 a.m. by detectives with the WCSO Violent Crimes Unit. He was placed in the Washington County Jail and faces multiple charges, including first-degree rape and sodomy, first-degree sex abuse, and using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct.
Police said Moore is an employee of the Beaverton School District as a bus driver for special-needs children. Investigators said Moore knew the victim from a setting outside of school. No additional information about the victim will be released, police said.
It is unclear what exactly led to Moore's arrest.
Beaverton School District said in a statement released Wednesday that Moore has resigned.
"Daniel Moore resigned from BSD last month, with his last day being January 11. However, he revised his resignation yesterday, making it effective immediately," the district said. "Moore had passed two separate criminal background checks prior to being hired as a bus driver in August 2022. The District has not received any complaints regarding his performance or conduct on the job. The District is reaching out to all parents of students who were on his routes by phone today."
Detectives believe there may be more victims involved with Moore's alleged crimes. They are asking anyone with additional information to call the sheriff's office at 503-846-2700.
