Children's Daycare Worker Sodomized, Sexually Abused Kids: Police

BEAVERTON, OR — A Partridge House Daycare employee was arrested Thursday and charged for alleged sex crimes committed against at least two children who attended the daycare over the past two years.

John Patrick Gilbreath, 69, was taken to Washington County Jail following his arrest. He is being charged with sodomy, sex abuse, and sexual penetration.

According to an indictment filed in Washington County on June 14, the same day of his arrest, Gilbreath allegedly forced himself onto at least two children younger than 4 years old in June 2016 and March 2018, respectively.

Beaverton police spokesman Jeremy Shaw said officials hope there are no other victims, though "the possibility exists."

Gilbreath was reportedly arrested at his residence in the 11000-block of Southwest Partridge Loop — at the same address listed for the daycare.

It's unclear whether Gilbreath ran the daycare himself, though records appear to show it was a certified facility at one time.

The Partridge House Daycare Facebook page appears to have been deactivated.

Calls to the Partridge House were not immediately returned.

Anyone with information that could assist this investigation is asked to call Beaverton Detective Cindy Herring at 503-526-2281.
