A 13-year-old Texas girl who went missing two weeks ago was found locked in an outhouse by a North Carolina man who tricked her into leaving her home, officials said Monday.
The girl was found in Davidson County, south of Winston-Salem, on Friday night, Davidson County Sheriff Richie Simmons said at a news conference.
Jorge Ivan Santos Camacho, 34, was arrested on child abduction, criminal restraint, statutory rape and other charges, officials said. The two had communicated over social media chat programs, Simmons said.
“He made her leave the house,” Simmons said.
Camacho was also living in the addiction where the victim was found, the owner told NBC affiliate WXII of Winston-Salem.
The sheriff’s office was contacted by the FBI in Dallas, and they put Camacho under surveillance and conducted a traffic stop around 6 p.m. Friday, Simmons said.
The girl was found in what was described as a locked outbuilding from the outside, the sheriff’s office said.
The girl had been missing for about two weeks, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
Camacho was being held in lieu of $1.25 million bond Monday, the sheriff’s office said. Online court records did not appear to indicate whether he had an attorney.
