CORNELIUS, Ore. - Police are searching for a man accused of raping a 15-year-old girl while others watched.

He is 39-year-old Jose Francisco-Francisco of Guatemala, a man deputies believe brings people into the U.S. illegally.

"He is known to traffic people into Oregon and California to work in the labor camps," said Detective Ray Marcom of the Washington County Sheriff's Office. "This girl was working in a labor camp down in Cornelius. He brought her and her sister there."

At a migrant housing compound in Cornelius, police believe Francisco-Francisco raped the young girl with others watching.

Eventually, someone at the camp called 911. Detectives did not learn until months later that a rape had occurred instead of a molestation.

"She became pregnant as a result, gave birth," Marcom said. "She's in foster care here. She doesn't have the child."

Marcom believes the suspect may still be in the area or in California and may still be bringing people in to live illegally in the U.S.

Police said Francisco-Francisco stands 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds.

If you see him, call 911.
