Police: Man Used Craigslist To Lure Girls

POSTED: 6:03 pm PST November 16, 2007
UPDATED: 6:19 pm PST November 16, 2007

A Tigard man used Craigslist.org and other Web sites to lure girls and women to his home, according to the Tigard Police Department.

Police said they arrested Ronald Leistiko, 52, after serving a search warrant at his 128th Avenue home on Friday morning.

He used the Internet to meet women and girls, ranging in age from 14 to 35 years old, and set up meetings at his home, according to Tigard police. Officers said the victims came from all around the Portland metro area.

The arrest followed months of investigation from the Tigard Police Department and Portland Police Bureau after several women reported they were assaulted.

Leistiko was booked into the Washington County Jail on a laundry list of charges. He could be charged with rape, kidnap, prostitution, sex abuse, menacing, attempted rape, strangulation and unlawful sexual penetration.

Investigators believe there may be other unreported incidents that have happened at Leistiko's home.

Anyone with information is asked to call 503-823-0697, 503-823-0424 or 503-718-2576.
