Sayre is awaiting extradition to Washington County, Oregon. He had been out of jail after posting $700,000.00 bail earlier this month following an arrest in January and charging of multiple counts of 2nd degree rape and indecent liberties for cases in Everett. Back in October of 2021 he was initially arrested for second degree rape and indecent liberties, at that time he posted bail.
Sayre is the long-time owner of the Anchor Pub and has reportedly been under investigation in Everett for at least four years. The cases under investigation in Oregon date back as far as 20 years. No word on when Sayre will be transferred to Oregon. A spokesperson for the Washington County, Oregon District Attorney’s Office says arrangements are being worked out between the two states.

Sayre will face three more trials on allegations of sex offenses against over a dozen other victims.
