A man from Loma Linda reportedly talked to a minor using online communications and convinced her to meet him at a hotel room, where he allegedly forced her to remain while he drugged and raped her.
Last Friday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office was reportedly alerted about a girl who was believed to be a runaway, and it was purported that she might have been trapped by someone at the Loma Linda Hotel against her will.
When the police went to the location and inspected the situation, they reported that they discovered 31-year-old Joshua Lewis Blackwell-Tallen and an underage girl were in a room together, and it was asserted that the man was forcing her to stay.
