Girl sneaked away from kidnapper after he raped her, report shows
A newly released report reveals an 11-year-old girl said she sneaked away from her kidnapper after he raped her Monday near the intersection of Forest City Road and Riverside Park Road, northwest of Orlando.
The child said she was tying her shoe at a bus stop near her home about 7:10 a.m. When she stood up, an unknown man grabbed her arm and forced her inside his car, according to the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office.
The suspect — believed to be between 25 and 30 years old — then drove her a few blocks away and raped her inside the car, the girl told investigators, according to the report.
Afterward, he got out of the vehicle. That’s when she climbed out of the car, “closed the door very softly” and ran away from him. As she ran away, she noticed her school bus passing by on Forest City Road near Pembroke Road and went to school.
That’s where she told her teacher what happened, and the Sheriff ’s Office was notified.
Authorities continue to search for the suspect, who is described as being about 6 feet 2 inches tall to 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds, according to the report.
He also has short hair, a shaved face, brown eyes and a medium-sized oval scar on the left side of his face.
The victim said the was last seen wearing suspect a black hoodie, a navy T-shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers, the report said. He was driving a dark blue or purple four-door car with dark-tinted windows. There were black, furry seat covers inside the car with a large, white skull decal across the length of the back seat.
The Sheriff’s Office has increased patrols in the area where the kidnapping and assault took place, OCSO spokeswoman Jane Watrel said Tuesday.
