The arrest of Garcia Isidro, 41-year-old, came after the victim woman complained to police after having contacted her sister on Facebook, said the police.

So all these years, he kept on threatening her that if she tried to escape, she would be deported. Thanks to Facebook, that the woman contacted her sister, after which she dared to complain to the police.

Isidro was arrested on charges of kidnapping, rape, lewd acts with a minor and false imprisonment, stated the police department which investigated the case.

According to the police, the victim had to tolerate a decade of physical, mental and sexual abuse starting 2004 – during which the captor also married her and fathered a child, who is now two years old.

“Even with the opportunity to escape, after years of physical and mental abuse, the victim saw no way out of her situation,” police said in a written statement.

The victim, now 25-year old, was given various fake identities and hence police couldn’t spot her, while Garcia continued to abuse her.

The statements by the Santa Ana Police Department portray a heinous crime committed by the man, who was dating the victim’s mother and was living with her family, when he drugged his girlfriend’s daughter and kidnapped her.

According to the police, the incident occurred in 2004 when the victim – then 15-year old, arrived at Santa Ana from Mexico in February 2004 to live with her sister, whom Garcia was dating.

But after an altercation with his girlfriend (the victim’s mother) in August 2004, Garcia followed her daughter and abducted her from a park after having drugged her.

The victim was then locked in a garage in Compton, a city between Santa Ana and Los Angeles.

Even though, the victim’s mother diligently tried to look for her daughter, but the girl wasn’t found as Garcia changed her name and locations multiple number of times and threatened her that she would be deported if she tried to flee.

According to Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, The mother “filed a police report and for 10 years (police) did due diligence. But they were changing their names and dates of birth and physical locations so that made it exceedingly difficult”.
