A 25-year-old woman who vanished as a teenager from her California home has contacted police after 10 years, claiming she was held captive and sexually assaulted for nearly a decade.

The Santa Ana Police Department said Wednesday that they have charged her alleged captor, 41-year-old Isidro Garcia, of Bell Gardens, with kidnap for rape, lewd act with a minor and false imprisonment.

The woman’s mother reported her then-15-year-old daughter missing to the Santa Ana Police Department in August of 2004 after a domestic violence incident. The mother said Garcia, who was her boyfriend and living with the family at the time, was also missing, and that she suspected Garcia had been sexually assaulting her daughter.

Aw come one Vendome.

All you have to do is strip him naked, put him in the prison shower with 25 men named “Bubba” and put his bar of soap on the floor. It’s just that easy!

Other neighbors told The Associated Press that they knew the suspect as Tomas Medrano and described him as a devoted family man who worked hard to provide for his wife and daughter.

They said the couple was known in the neighborhood: He worked at a food-service company down the street from their apartment while she worked as a janitor at a nearby business. The couple attended church a block away, and they were known for parties where they would hire mascots and hold a raffle for children in the neighborhood.

For ten years, she lived with him as his wife and mother of his child. Then she comes forward and says she was kidnapped and abused.

If I were feeling especially cynical, I might wonder if a provision in the "Violence Against Women Act", wherein an abused immigrant may self-petition for a visa that leads to lawful permanent resident status. But no, women who want to leave their husbands never make up stories of abuse.
