Accused serial rapist had notebook listing more than 30 women, WA officials say
A man accused in one of Everett's 'most complex and disturbing cases' is heading to prison for decades, officials in the Washington city said.
Christian Sayre, 39, received a 109-year sentence in connection with multiple rape and indecent liberties convictions spread out over four trials, the Everett Police Department said in a July 21 news release.
Sayre's attorney, David Roberson, declined to comment in a July 23 email to McClatchy News.
Police in Everett started looking into Sayre about four years ago, 'after DNA evidence linked him to a 2020 sexual assault case,' officials said.
Investigators 'uncovered dozens of potential victims and a disturbing pattern of predatory behavior stretching back over two decades,' according to officials.
As they investigated, they found 'a notebook listing over 30 women, along with hard drives containing child pornography,' officials said, adding that 'several of the women named in Sayre's notes came forward and reported assaults, some dating as far back as 2001.'
In all, Sayre was found guilty of 16 felony charges, among them 'multiple counts of rape and indecent liberties involving both adult and minor victims,' officials said.
He's also facing sexual assault charges in Oregon, according to officials.
Sayre was the owner of a bar in Everett called Anchor Pub, KCPQ reported.
In the news release, Everett officials praised the investigators, prosecutors and survivors.
'The bravery of the survivors who came forward to share their trauma and experiences, brought justice for the egregious sexual assaults committed by Christian Sayre,' Everett police Det. Susan Logothetti said in the release. 'There is no doubt that their courage put an end to Sayre continuing his predatory behavior in this community.'
Everett is about a 30-mile drive north from Seattle.
