DETECTIVE SEEKS PUBLIC HELP TO LOCATE PERSON WHO EXPOSED HIMSELF AND GROPED A MOUNT VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT

Washington Co. Sheriff's Office

On Wednesday, September 7, 2022, a School Resource Office (SRO) from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office was notified by Mountain View Middle School staff that a student was groped on their way to school. The SRO contacted the student and learned that while walking to school in the morning, around 9:00 am, they were in Champion Park and observed a male watching them while the male’s genitals were exposed.

The student told the SRO they began walking faster towards the school, and the male began following them. The student said the male caught up to them as they walked and groped them on the buttocks. 

A short time later, the male entered the school office and spoke to the staff. When the male spoke to the school staff, the staff was unaware of the incident that occurred earlier in the morning with the student.

Detectives with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office later identified the man as 29-year-old Uriel Nava-Montoya. Nava-Montoya is described as having short black hair, approximately 5’ 6” tall, and thin with tan skin. 

The photo of Nava-Montoya was obtained today when he entered Mountain View Middle School to speak with staff. If you know the whereabouts of Nava-Montoya, please call 911 or the Washington County non-emergency number at (503) 629-0111.
