A woman met a young girl online and drove her more than 1,000 miles to South Carolina, where she sexually assaulted the child, according to federal investigators.
When FBI agents showed up at Katrina Aliffs apartment in Greenville, she was only wearing a tank top and the girl was naked in her bed, according to investigators. Aliff is charged with kidnapping, child sex abuse and sex with a minor under 12.
Investigators said Aliff, 23, and the child met on the online app Amino. When the girls father found their conversations, he took away the girls phone, according to the FBI. The two continued to talk on a tablet, and Aliff and the girl made plans for the woman to pick up the child near her home in South Saint Paul, Minnesota, and take her back to South Carolina.
Aliff drove more than 1,000 miles and picked the girl up at about 2 a.m. Sept. 7 and the two drove back to Greenville, according to court filings.
As they left South Saint Paul, the FBI said, Aliff tried to destroy her phone by putting it in a cup of coffee so police could not track her location.
When the phone was still working, the girl in an effort to assist with the destruction of the cellular telephone stabbed the telephone multiple times with a knife. Upon completion, the cellular telephone was placed back into coffee where it became non-functional.
Once back at Aliffs apartment in Greenville, she sexually assaulted the young girl, officials said. Police showed up at the apartment the day after the kidnapping, found the child and arrested Aliff, according to court filings.
The federal judge ordered a mental health evaluation on Aliff after the arrest. Prosecutors filed an indictment Tuesday, federal court records show.
Federal prison records show Aliff is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
McClatchy news group has reached out to Aliffs attorneys for comment.
Yikes!
Is suicide in her future?
Sickening
Somali?
South St Paul is not a really good area.
So where are the news stories blaming WB and the Catwoman show?
Yikes!
Meth or Heroin.
oh my thats a scary face
I used to work with the law enforcement relations department of a major cell phone service provider. I used to tell people, jokingly, that if you are going to abduct a child, leave your phone at home.
Obviously I never talked to this woman.
GUILTY!
Laz, does she make your heart skip a beat?
why does it have to be just one?
Is she the president of the local teachers union? Sure looks like she could be.
How the heck does a girl under 12 get picked up at 2 am by a stranger? Where are her parent(s)??? Oh, dad took away her cell phone. Yeah, that's helpful.
Mental health issue, well, duuuh. But don’t let her get out of spending the next 20 years or so in prison on a mental excuse.
23? I guess drugs age you a bit, don’t they? Yikes. She would pass for 40+ easy!
Warmed up and 'spiffed up' to pick up her date!
Chelsea Clinton?
I was about 13, delivering newspapers and a woman when I was collecting money from reached down into my gym shorts and fondled me.
This was 1974-1975 era.
To embarrassed to tell anyone.
