**Man Arrested for Aggravated Kidnapping and Rape in San Quintín**
Authorities have initiated legal proceedings against a man suspected of aggravated kidnapping and rape of a 12-year-old girl in San Quintín. The incident took place on January 17, 2025, when the victim was abducted upon leaving her school in the Emiliano Zapata community. It has been reported that the suspect, using violence and wielding a firearm, forced the girl into his vehicle, subsequently taking her to a secluded area in the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz region, where the crime was committed.
A swift investigation led to the identification of the suspected assailant, who was known to use multiple aliases. A successful raid on January 22, 2025, at his residence saw the seizure of two firearms allegedly used in the crime, as well as several communications devices. Following this, an arrest warrant was issued and executed on January 24 by the Gender-based Offenses Investigation Unit. An initial court hearing was held the same day, during which the suspect invoked a constitutional period of 144 hours for the case assembly.
On January 29, 2025, due to substantial evidence presented by the prosecution, the accused was formally charged for the offenses of aggravated kidnapping and rape. He has been ordered to be held in preventive detention while authorities conduct additional investigatory proceedings, which are to be concluded by June 29, 2025.
