A former Redmond resident will serve 22 years in prison for child sex abuse for acts that took place in 2014-15.

“I am sorry for what I’ve done, and I pray that God has mercy on me,” said Stanley Keith McGuyer, who was sentenced Wednesday in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

McGuyer, 45, will additionally serve 20 years of post-prison supervision and must register as a sex offender for life. Though originally indicted on 40 counts — 39 of them felonies — he pleaded guilty to just four: first-degree sex abuse, first-degree unlawful penetration, first-degree sodomy and incest.

Judge A. Michael Adler called the penalty “appropriate but certainly not overly harsh” for one of the worst cases he said he’d ever seen.

“I think you know the horrors you brought on your victim,” Adler said.

McGuyer lived in Redmond from 2014 to 2015, the same years the abuse took place, but later moved to Portland. The abuse had ceased for more than a year when the victim reported it to a Portland-area school counselor, who contacted the interagency Multnomah County Child Abuse Team.

Redmond detectives traveled to Portland on Feb. 6 to interview McGuyer. They arrested him at his workplace and brought him to Deschutes County, where he was held without bail.

McGuyer’s plea negotiation stretched for months. His defense attorney secured a condition that if he pleaded guilty in Deschutes County, Multnomah County officials would not pursue child pornography charges for material they allegedly found on his cellphone.

Aside from court staff, the only person attending the hearing was the victim’s mother and she did so via phone and didn’t speak when given a chance.

The defendant sat with his head down as prosecutor Kirsten Naito of the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office described the abuse. Adler stared at him from across the room.

“This would happen more times than the victim could articulate,” Naito said, wrapping up.

McGuyer’s lawyer, Shawn Kollie, asked the judge to not add years to the recommended sentence, saying he’d seen “sadness” in his client since his arrest.

“He did this, and he pleaded guilty,” Kollie said. “And his sentence is appropriate and what we would have expected for a crime of this magnitude.”
