(Stillwater, Okla.) — A 28-year-old Stillwater man avoided a jury trial in September by pleading guilty this week through an interpreter to sexually abusing & exploiting the 14-year-old daughter of a woman he was dating by recording on his phone sexual acts constituting child pornography.
. Luis Enrique Vega Peinado was sentenced this week to two concurrent 15-year prison terms and ordered to register as a sex offender by Payne County District Judge Phillip Corley, who advised him of the possibility of deportation, court records show.
According to an affidavit by Payne County Sheriff’s Investigator Tomm Edwards, during a forensic interview the girl disclosed that Vega Peinado, who was her mother’s boyfriend for about three years, had raped her on three separate occasions.
She disclosed that he “sexually assaulted her twice when they were living together in Texas and the most recent at their residence in rural Payne County,” the affidavit said.
She said “when Enrique was away (working out of town), it was typical of her to sleep with her mom in her bed. She stated Enrique would get home in the very early morning hours of Thursday, and he would show up drunk.
“When her mom would leave to go to work around 3:30 in the morning, Enrique would lie in bed with her (and) she could feel Enrique getting closer and closer to her. She eventually fell asleep. She woke up to Enrique touching her ‘privates.’ She tried to move away from him, but he had pinned her down,” the affidavit said.
“The next time he raped her was the following weekend when he came home early,” the affidavit said.
She “stated the incident in Payne County occurred on a day when her school was closed for winter weather…(she) said he would record the rapes,” the affidavit said.
When his phone data was searched on a warrant, sheriff’s investigators discovered a video that depicted an adult male engaging in sexual intercourse with the girl. “The adult male in the video had a tattoo on his arm and was wearing two woven bracelets,” and identified by the investigator as the defendant, the affidavit said.
“Metadata contained within the video file revealed that it was created on 1-31-2023 at 3:41 pm by an Apple Phone 11 at the GPS coordinates,” which were the location of the defendant’s residence in rural Payne County, the affidavit said.
