A Kentucky man was jailed after the authorities reportedly found a missing 16-year-old girl from North Carolina hidden under the floor in his bedroom.
According to reports, last month, a 34-year-old man from Lexington, Kentucky, drove to Fayetteville, North Carolina, to pick up an underage girl he met online. The man, who was reportedly aware that the girl was 16 years old, allegedly told her he was 19. She left with him, and he brought her back to his home. The girl was reported missing shortly after.
On Christmas day, the authorities were called to a home regarding a domestic violence situation. When they arrived, the man’s mother said she was the one who called because her son was fighting with his girlfriend. The man told the authorities that the girl was no longer at the home, but his mother insisted that she was.
