PRINEVILLE, OR -- A Crook County man was sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison for raping a teen. Prosecutors say 41-year-old Erik Ray Diamond took the 17-year-old victim to a remote area in February, gave her marijuana, then assaulted her.
During the investigation, Diamond denied knowing the girl, however DNA evidence proved otherwise. He has a lengthy criminal record, including convictions for sex with a minor and drug possession.
The 130-month sentence is the maximum allowed under sentencing guidelines. He’s not eligible for early release and will also serve 20 years of post-prison supervision.
