Raymond S. Sulak, a 65-year-old man from Port Orchard, Washington, attempted to engage in sexual acts with minor children in Wenatchee, Washington, between July 25, 2024, and July 27, 2024. He used internet-facilitated communication applications to communicate with an undercover law enforcement agent posing as the mother of two girls, aged 9 and 12. Sulak’s intentions were clear, and he even obtained sexually transmitted disease testing to have sexual intercourse with the minors without a condom.
Sulak traveled to Wenatchee by motorcycle on July 27, 2024, to meet the girls, but was arrested upon arrival. Law enforcement officers searched him and his motorcycle, finding an iPhone. The operation was conducted by the Washington State Police Missing and Exploited Children’s Task Force, the Spokane Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Chelan and Douglas County Sheriffs’ Offices.
Sulak was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment, followed by a lifetime of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $28,000 in restitution to the minor victims and a $40,000 fine. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Thomas O. Rice on July 29, 2026.
The case highlights the importance of law enforcement efforts to combat online child exploitation. The multi-day undercover operation in Wenatchee was successful in identifying and apprehending Sulak, preventing further harm to potential victims.
