Woman Found Alive Ten Years after Kidnapping

In California, a woman who was kidnapped at the age of fifteen was finally found. She contacted the police and told them everything the man forced onto her. Authorities told Wednesday that she was sexually assaulted, forced into marriage and now is sharing a child with the man.

41-year-old Isidro Garcia, the man who assaulted this girl apparently had a relationship with her mother before the incident. The mother of the girl suspected that the man had been sexually abusing the girl. In June 2004, he assaulted the mother and drugged the girl. He then fled, kidnapping the girl, bringing her to a house in Compton. Garcia locked her away in the garage and provided her with false identification. To prevent the girl from fleeing, he mentally and physically abused her. The victim was emotionally toyed with being told that her family gave up looking for the girl. A statement was said they were constantly moving to not be found out by the police.

The police said that they believe the victim and the kidnapper who is suspected of doing lewd acts were supposedly dating when the girl was 15 years of age.

Currently, the woman is 25 years of age and free from her attacker. She told her story to the police after finding her sister of Facebook. At the moment, Garcia is presented before the “Orange County district attorney's office”. That’s all the information there is to go on.
