A Colombian school bus driver allegedly abducted a 7-year-old girl and held her captive for more than a decade until she escaped earlier this year, prosecutors have revealed.
The suspect, identified as Carlos Humberto Grisales Higuita, is now facing charges of simple kidnapping, sexual abuse with a minor under 14 years of age, sexual acts with a minor under 14 years of age and pornography with a person under 18 years of age, according to prosecutors in Medellín, Colombia.
"The man, who worked as a school bus driver, allegedly detained a 7-year-old girl in early 2012 and took her to a house in the city center," prosecutors said in a statement. "He allegedly psychologically manipulated and sexually assaulted her, making her believe that such behavior was normal."
Investigators say during the victim’s captivity, her name was changed, she was taken to various buildings in the cities of Medellín and Bello, and she was kept out of school.

"When she turned 16, she complained to the alleged aggressor about the treatment she received, and in retaliation she was allegedly locked up in a house, from which she managed to escape in February of this year," prosecutors said.
They also said the victim had initially been reported missing 12 years ago.
