PORTLAND, Ore. — A former MMA fighter was sentenced to 50 years in prison Friday for sexually assaulting homeless women in Portland.
Zachary Lee Andrews, 33, was convicted on 16 different charges, including three counts of first-degree rape, three counts of sexual abuse, and a kidnapping charge.
Court records show that Andrews, who also goes by ‘Cadillac,’ targeted women experiencing homelessness between October 2021 and October of 2022.
“Today’s sentencing of 50 years brings long-awaited accountability for Zachary Andrews, a serial predator who inflicted profound harm on multiple victims,” Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez said. “While no prison term can undo the trauma he caused, this outcome ensures he can no longer hurt others. We are grateful to the survivors whose courage and testimony brought the truth to light.”

“We would also like to thank SDDA Robin Skarstad who prosecuted this case for the state, Detective Wollstein, DA Investigator Heather Hughes and Victim Advocate, Amina Dureti who fought tirelessly for justice. Our community is safer today because of their strength and commitment,” DA Vasquez continued.
