An illegal alien from Mexico has been arrested for abducting and sexually assaulting a minor in Idaho last week, authorities say.
The horrifying incident unfolded at around 9 p.m. on July 22 in Star, a town in Ada County.
A 15-year-old girl had gone to Freedom Park to paddle board when she was ambushed by an adult male who dragged her into the woods and sexually assaulted her, local media reports.
Surveillance footage reportedly shows the two emerging from the trees with the victim in tears.
The suspect threatened to take the girl to Mexico if she reported the attack, investigators say.
She was then forced into a vehicle and driven away.
Just after 3 p.m. the following day, police found the suspect and victim lying in a vehicle at Quinn’s Pond in Boise, some 15 miles away from Freedom Park.
The victim, who dehydrated and hungry at the time of her rescue, was reunited with her family.
The suspect was identified as Jose Lozano Flores, a 29-year-old Mexican national.
He was charged with lewd conduct with a child under 16, kidnapping for the purpose of ransom or committing rape, and resisting or obstructing officers.
Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against Lozano Flores, who is considered a flight risk.
Lozano Flores illegally crossed Joe Biden’s open southern border into New Mexico in 2023, but was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol and agreed to voluntarily return to Mexico, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revealed.
He then reentered the U.S. at an unknown location and date.
“This criminal illegal alien is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a teenage girl in Idaho,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
“ICE will work with our partners in Idaho to ensure that he is not released from jail and is never loose in American communities again. When state politicians cooperate with us, we are able to keep criminals out of American neighborhoods.”
Lozano Flores is being held on $1 million bond.
Earlier this month, a Mexican national who was naturalized by the Biden regime after entering the U.S. illegally was charged with kidnapping and strangling a woman at a park in Boise.
