(NEWBERG, Ore.) - Newberg-Dundee Police is asking the public's help in finding a Newberg man, suspected in a sexual assault of a three-year old girl.

Sgt. Tim Weaver with Newberg-Dundee Police, says 19-year old Neptali Sanchez-Gonzales was last seen in the Newberg area Sunday evening. He reportedly ran from the victim's residence when the child reported an incident to her mother.

Sanchez-Gonzales may be driving a red 1990 Ford Thunderbird, Oregon license, 061BLT. The car reportedly has extensive front damage from crashes over several months' time that aren't reflected in the accompanying photograph.

Sanchez-Gonzales apparently has no local known contacts or friends, according to investigators. The 19-year old is about 5'7" in height, and about 150 pounds, black hair, brown eyes.

There are no known photographs of him. He has worked locally on farms and in the agricultural industry, and has no other known skills.

Weaver says Sanchez-Gonzales has been in the Newberg area only a few months, has very little police contacts during this time.

"He reportedly had been subletting a room from the victim's mother for a few weeks," Weaver said.

"Investigators believe the girl is the only victim and there are likely no other victims."

Anyone with information is asked to call Newberg-Dundee Police, (503) 538-8321.
