A 15-year-old girl who didn’t return home after school was found miles away in a pickup truck after her father tracked her phone, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. A Porter man now faces serious charges.

Giovanni Rosales Espinoza, 23, of Porter, Texas, was arrested on charges of aggravated kidnapping and indecency with a child. He was taken into custody without incident and is being held at the Montgomery County Jail with no bond.

Deputies responded to a neighborhood in Porter around 4:50 p.m. on Thursday after receiving reports of a kidnapping involving a 15-year-old girl. When deputies arrived, they learned the victim had been abducted while taking her dog on a walk.

Using parental controls to locate the victim’s phone, her father traveled to a secluded, partially wooded area in Harris County, nearly 2 miles away. The father was able to find the victim and her dog inside a maroon-colored pickup truck with a partially nude 23-year-old male, identified as Espinoza, the sheriff’s office said. The father helped his daughter escape from the truck.
