PORTLAND, OR — A man who cut his partner’s throat in front of their children and threatened to kill the entire family has pled guilty to assault in the second degree
Manuel Jesus Huchin-Interian pled guilty Friday April 18, 2025 to Assault in the Second Degree Constituting Domestic Violence, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.
Under Ballot Measure 11, he will be sentenced to 70 months in prison and three years post prison supervision.
The crime happened on June 7, 2021, when police were called to a family home in Gresham by numerous 911 callers, including a call from the couple’s 10-year-old daughter who reported that her parents were arguing and dad stabbed mom.
Prosecutors say the 10-year old reported that she grabbed a knife herself and tried to stab Huchin-Interian but the knife was too dull so she dropped it and ran to her room with her little siblings and locked the door. She emerged when Huchin-Interian left and stayed on the line with 911, rendering aid to her mom.
When police arrived, they found the victim “lifeless,” face down in a pool of blood, with a deep 8-inch cut to her neck. It was unclear whether she was going to survive but she did.
The victim later told police the defendant had accused her of cheating and took a knife and cut her throat. While doing so he said he was going to “finish her” and then “finish the kids.”
Huchin-Interian fled and was later located and arrested in San Francisco in March 2024.
Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Robin Beck Skarstad prosecuted the case for the state. She noted that Huchin-Interian accepted the plea offer the afternoon before his case went to trial.
“This case underscores the devastating impact domestic violence has on children in the home,” she said. “The victim’s young daughter showed bravery and resilience that truly inspires us to work hard every day to interrupt the cycle of abuse and to keep families safe.”
The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Gresham Police Department, particularly the lead investigator Sabrina Homewytewa, who is now with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, and MCDA Victim Advocate Rocio Peguero for their compassion and empathy in helping the victims of this case.
Sentencing is set for Monday, April 28 at 1 p.m.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
