Girl ‘kidnapped by faculty bus driver’ as a seven-year-old and ‘raped on digicam for little one porn perverts’ escapes after TWELVE YEARS in captivity

A Colombian school bus driver has been arrested after a girl he allegedly kidnapped 12 years ago managed to escape captivity, the prosecutors office have said. 

The girl was only seven years old when she was reported missing and is said to have been moved between addresses in Medellin and nearby Bello, a statement said. 

Her captor allegedly changed her name, kept her out of sight, and school, and according to a statement, she was also allegedly raped on camera.

In February the girl escaped her alleged abuser, with the accused arrested in Medellin in the northeastern Antioquia department last week.  

The suspect faces charges of raping a minor and producing child pornography.

The prosecutor’s office said the man had ‘psychologically manipulated’ the girl ‘into making her believe that this type of behavior is normal.’

When she was 16, the alleged victim confronted her captor, which prompted him to lock her in a house from which she escaped earlier this year, the statement said.

The man appeared in court last week and denied all charges. He was ordered held in pre-trial detention.

Recently exposed cases of child sex abuse in Medellin, including by foreign tourists, has prompted a wave of indignation in Colombia.

The city of 2.5 million people recorded 139 cases of child sexual exploitation between January and August this year, according to municipal data.

Fourteen foreigners have been arrested in Medellin this year for child sex abuse.

In April, the case of an American visitor who was arrested after entering a hotel with two girls, only to be released later, led the city hall to ban street prostitution in its tourist areas.
