In a disturbing development, law enforcement has charged four family members with the alleged re-kidnapping of a minor girl to pressure her into altering her court testimony. The 16-year-old victim was previously abducted and sexually assaulted by a man who is currently incarcerated.
Police revealed that on September 23, the accused family members forcibly took the victim from her home, prompting a complaint from her father. According to authorities, the relatives are said to have threatened the girl with lethal consequences if she refused to change her statement.
Legal proceedings were set in motion after the father of the victim filed a report, accusing the family of criminal intimidation and kidnapping. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the accused family members, who remain in hiding.
