(Portland, OR) -- A man convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter over multiple years, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. A Multnomah County Judge convicted Zenn Vicknair following a bench trial. Prosecutors say the abuse started when the victim was just nine years old and continued after the family moved to Washington. The girl's mother learned of the abuse when the victim was 15, but the case was dropped when the girl learned Vicknair was suicidal, and she recanted her allegations. She reached out to law enforcement and had the case reopened in 2021, over concerns for her younger brother's welfare.
