A California man has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, torture and rape after his girlfriend, who he allegedly held captive for a month, escaped and reported him to authorities.
Saul Ortega, 29, was arrested Saturday by the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office on multiple charges for allegedly abusing his 25-year-old girlfriend, a Modesto resident who has not been named.
The woman had escaped Ortega's home two days prior on Dec. 2 and said she did not immediately call police because Ortega threatened her and her family, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. Later on Saturday, at about 8:45 a.m., officials served an arrest warrant for Ortega at the 1000 block of Paradise Road in Modesto, as well as a search warrant for the evidence.
An elderly female was also detained at the home, but later released after cooperating with detectives, officials said.
