NORCOR Deputy Jailed After Indictment On Misconduct Complaints

A Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility deputy was arrested Thursday after being indicted by a Wasco County grand jury following a nearly five-and-a-half month criminal investigation into alleged misconduct complaints.  According to a statement from NORCOR, Josue Perez was taken into custody without incident and is currently being housed in Umatilla County facing charges of first and second degree Custodial Sexual Misconduct, first degree Official Misconduct, and Sex Abuse III.  The statement says Perez has been employed as a corrections deputy at NORCOR since January of 2022, and was placed on administrative leave in August of 2023.  No other details regarding the case have been released.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case, and referred it to the Wasco County District Attorney’s office.
