EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - The young offender accused of raping a woman during a supervised group outing to an Oregon football game has admitted his guilt.
The Register-Guard reports (https://is.gd/ky80di ) that 17-year-old Jamie Tinoco of Portland pleaded guilty Friday to rape, sexual abuse, assault and kidnapping. Prosecutors will ask that he serve more than 14 years in prison at Monday’s sentencing in Eugene.
Tinoco’s attorney is expected to seek a sentence of less than nine years.
Tinoco was arrested last September and tried as an adult after a woman reported that a stranger attacked her near Autzen Stadium. The teenager was there to watch the Oregon-Wyoming football game with 11 other youths who were being supervised by counselors from the Washington County Juvenile Department.
Authorities said Tinoco separated from the group after the game.
