DALLAS, Ore. (KPTV) – A 37-year-old man will spend half a century behind bars after being convicted in a years-long child sexual abuse case, according to the Polk County District Attorney’s Office.
Philip James Mancuso, of Dallas, was sentenced to serve 600 months (50 years) in prison on Tuesday. He will also be required to serve a lifetime period of post-prison supervision after his release and register as a sex offender.
On July 13, Mancuso was found guilty of four counts of first-degree sodomy, two counts of first-degree sex abuse, and one count of incest.
The district attorney’s office said the investigation began in 2024 after a report to child welfare authorities. Mancuso was later found in Ohio and brought back to Oregon to face trial.
The judge in this case sentenced Mancuso in accordance with Oregon’s Ballot Measure 11 and Jessica’s Law mandatory minimum sentencing requirements, meaning Mancuso will not be eligible for early release.
