SAN JOSE – A San Jose man and two others were arrested this week in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a 14-year-old girl who used Snapchat to tell her friends she had been abducted, a police spokesman said.
The victim did not know where she was, but her friends used the app to pinpoint her location — the E-Z 8 Motel at 1550 N. First St. in San Jose — and called 911, said San Jose police Sgt. Enrique Garcia.
Jason Green of The San Jose Mercury news reports that police officers arrived at the motel about 11:10 a.m. Tuesday and contacted Albert Thomas Vasquez, 55, of San Jose, as he left a second-story room. Garcia said the girl was inside the room.
Vasquez was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County jail on felony charges of kidnapping to commit rape, digital penetration of a child under 14 years with force, false imprisonment, lewd act with a child 14 or 15 years with force and rape by intoxication or controlled substance.
