A teenager missing from Texas was found more than 1,000 miles away in a locked building, North Carolina officials said.

Jorge Camacho is accused of abducting the 13-year-old with the intent of holding her “in sexual servitude.” He also took “indecent liberties” with the girl, according to warrants obtained by TV station WGHP.

Now, after the teen was rescued, Camacho faces multiple child sex crime charges. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina didn’t share attorney information for the 34-year-old suspect during a news conference Monday.

“I thank God that we were able to find this young girl,” Sheriff Richie Simmons said in a video from the news conference.

The case dates to March 10, when Davidson County deputies said they received information about a girl who disappeared in Texas.

“Dallas, Texas, police were investigating a missing juvenile with the FBI’s assistance,” Simmons said. “They were able to discover that the juvenile had been communicating with an adult male through social media chat platforms. The content of the chat was consistent with grooming and enticement.”

Officials said they learned the girl was taken to North Carolina and tracked her to Camacho’s property on Linwood-Southmont Road in Lexington, roughly 30 miles south of Winston-Salem. The girl was found March 10 in an outbuilding, which was locked on the outside, according to the sheriff’s office and WFMY-TV.

Camacho — whose first name also was spelled Jarge during the news conference — was booked into the Davidson County jail. He’s charged with child abduction, felonious restraint of a child, human trafficking, statutory rape, statutory sexual offense and indecent liberties with a child.

An investigation continues, and more charges are pending, Simmons said.
