Police have found a missing 14-year-old girl from the US state of Tennessee. Previously, an older male online acquaintance allegedly had sex with her and left her in the woods – while the alleged perpetrator spent Christmas with his family!
As the responsible police recently announced, the 28-year-old man met the student on an online gaming platform. On December 23 (local time), he allegedly picked up the 14-year-old from her home and drove him to his home in St. Rose, Louisiana.
He allegedly had sex with the girl there. She later reportedly revealed to him that she was only 14 years old. Both then left the city on the east bank of the Mississippi.
The 28-year-old then allegedly bought her a tent, food and water and dropped her off in a wooded area in Tangipahoa Parish.
The man then drove to Jennings, more than 150 miles away. He wanted to spend the holidays there with his family. But things turned out differently.
The girl’s family heard about the acquaintance
Fortunately, the girl’s family discovered the two’s acquaintance and started looking for her and the gamer. Notified authorities found the 28-year-old in the middle of the festivities in Jennings. When asked where the girl was, he responded and showed investigators her location. Emergency responders found the 14-year-old about 42 miles from his home in the woods in “good health,” the report said. She lay there for about two days and was taken to hospital after the dramatic rescue.
The man was arrested
For the man, Christmas ended in custody. An arrest warrant was later issued for him on charges of human trafficking and sexual harassment. Now the 28-year-old must appear in court for incitement to juvenile delinquency and aggravated kidnapping of a child.
