Oregon pet shop owner learns his fate after sexually abusing little girl, 12, who volunteered in his store
An Oregon former pet shop owner was found guilty of raping a 12-year-old girl, who volunteered at his store. Daniel Stuebgen, 54, of Lincoln City, was found guilty of sexually abusing the preteen five separate times in 2023 in an Oregon court, the Lincoln County District Attorney's Office announced. He was convicted of three counts of rape in the second degree, two counts of sodomy in the second degree, four counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, and four counts of using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, the DA's Office said. He faces mandatory prison sentences for all of his offenses. The mandatory sentence means a judge can lessen the time or reduce for good behavior. Second-degree rape and sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse carry a mandatory sentence of six years and three months. Using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct holds a sentence of five years and 10 months, according to the State of Oregon. In total, that means Stuebgen faces 79.5 years in prison. He was convicted after a five-day trial on May 1. Further details of the case were not made public in the May 20 statement. Stuebgen is the former owner of Happy Trails Feed & Tack and Green Acres Beach & Trail Rides, which he owned with his ex-wife Teresa Stuebgen. Happy Trails is now under new management. Stuebgen was arrested on June 12, 2024 after Lincoln City Police Department spent 10 months investigating him, the force announced at the time. At the time of his arrest, he was living at Happy Trials. The former business owner will be sentenced on June 3.
