HILLSBORO, Ore. — The owner of a "bikini barista" drive-thru coffee stand in Hillsboro has been arrested on 26 counts of various sex crimes, many involving former employees or job applicants at the business, according to Hillsboro police.
Jeffery Scott Hebner, 61, is the owner of a coffee stand called Dream Girl Espresso that operates in a parking lot off of the Tualatin Valley Highway in south Hillsboro.
He was booked into the Washington County jail on multiple charges, including rape and attempted rape, that date as far back as 2015, according to the Hillsboro Police Department.
"They all follow this pattern of him, under the guise of interviewing them to work at his business, plying them with alcohol and convincing them to have sexual relations with him — but then more often the assaults are without consent," said Hillsboro Police Commander Michael Rouches.
Google Street View photos indicate that the stand was put in place and began operating at some point between mid-2012 and mid-2015.
Police believe it's possible there are additional victims and encourage anyone who may have been victimized by Hebner to come forward.
"Typically in cases like this when it spans this length of time and when we have eight victims already, it is likely that there could be others out there," said Rouches.
An indictment document dated Jan. 27 lists 14 felony counts against Hebner, including rape, attempted rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and unlawful sexual penetration, plus 12 misdemeanor counts including strangulation, commercial sexual solicitation, private indecency, public indecency and solicitation for public indecency.
The first four counts stem from incidents alleged to have taken place in 2015 and 2016. The remainder are alleged to have occurred in 2019 or later, with the final nine all dated Nov. 30, 2022.
Hebner will remain in custody until at least February 8 when a release hearing is scheduled. If he is released, a protective order is in place to guard against contact with alleged victims.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Hillsboro Police Department non-emergency number at 503-629-0111, or to reach the detectives unit, call 503-681-6175.
