(REDMOND, Ore.) - Oregon State Police detectives say they arrested a Redmond-area man Monday on rape and sex abuse charges after a month-long investigation.

Two victims were identified during the investigation and investigators are interested in learning any new information that may help in these cases.

Yesterday, OSP detectives arrested 22-year old Francisco Javier Paniagua Garcia of Redmond, and lodged him in the Deschutes County Jail on multiple charges.

Garcia has been charged with first-degree Rape, 2 counts of first-degree Sex Abuse, first-degree Attempted Rape, and second-degree Sex Abuse.

Lieutenant Gregg Hastings with OSP, says the arrest followed an investigation by OSP detectives from the Bend Area Command office over allegations that in December 2008, a 16-year old female victim went to the suspect's Redmond residence for a party with friends.

While at the residence, the victim allegedly was provided alcohol and at some point the suspect forcibly compelled the victim to have sexual intercourse.

During the investigation, detectives learned of a second unrelated incident alleging the attempted rape of a 21-year old female.

Anyone with additional information that may help with these investigations is asked to contact OSP Detective Tom Kipp at (541) 388-6213 ext. 211.
