Luckily for the girl, Ohio is not a sanctuary state and the officer was able to determine the driver was an illegal alien. Ross was also able to determine that the child was in his police database as a missing person from New Jersey.
Police learned the girl was a sex slave and charged Juan Carlos Morales-Pedraza with the abduction and sexual assault of the young teenager. Morales was pulled over after he failed to obey the “Move Over” law.
“During the stop, OSHP says the officer noticed a young female riding with an older male,” Ohio State Highway Patrol said. “Police say it was also confirmed that the man had forced the girl to perform acts on him and that the girl was being taken to Chicago from New Jersey.”
Police in Ohio confirmed Morales was living in the U.S. illegally and was previously deported.
