On Thursday, Feb. 12, Bend Police detectives arrested 31-year-old Bend resident Erick Nazario Aguirre on suspicion of second-degree sexual abuse, sexual misconduct and contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor.
Nazario Aguirre’s most recent arrest stemmed from an ongoing sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. Nazario Aguirre was first arrested on suspicion of the same offenses involving the same minor in September 2025.
In 2018, Nazario Aguirre was arrested on suspicion of luring a minor for sexual conduct, as well as online corruption of a child in the first and second degrees. He was ultimately charged with 10 counts of luring a minor, pleaded guilty to three counts and served 90 days in the county jail. That case also involved underage girls. In the years between cases, Nazario Aguirre has worked in a variety of fast-food restaurants throughout Bend.
Bend Police detectives believe Nazario Aguirre may have victimized additional minors between his 2018 arrest and today. If you have information to share, please contact nonemergency dispatch at 541-693-6911.
