This investigation is ongoing, and detectives believe there may be numerous other child victims associated with Suliaman Abdul-Hadi who targets young girls 11-17
VANCOUVER – On July 11, Vancouver Police responded to an area hospital for the report that a 12-year-old had been provided alcohol by an adult male who then had sexual relations with her. Investigators learned the male was 24-year-old Suliaman Abdul-Hadi, who is a level 3 sex offender who is on GPS monitoring and restricted from being around minors.
On July 18, with assistance from an Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS), detectives from the Children’s Justice Center/Elder Justice Center, Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit (DECU), and the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), executed a search warrant at Abdul-Hadi’s residence in the 2900 block of NE 143rd Avenue in Vancouver.
Abdul-Hadi attempted to flee the residence but was confronted by a Vancouver Police K9 team and taken into custody.
Suliaman Abdul-Hadi was booked into the Clark County Jail for Rape of a Child II, Rape of a Child III, Communication with A Minor for Immoral Purposes, Supplying Liquor to Minors, Disorderly Conduct, Obstruction of a Law Enforcement Officer and Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.
This investigation is ongoing, and detectives believe there may be numerous other child victims associated with Abdul-Hadi who targets young girls 11-17. Anyone who may have had contact with Abdul-Hadi or has information about juveniles he has had contact with is asked to contact Detective LeAnn Cone at leann.cone@cityofvancouver.us or Sgt. Zachary Ripp at zachary.ripp@cityofvancouver.us.
