A 13-year-old Texas girl allegedly kidnapped at gunpoint and sexually assaulted multiple times as her captor drove her to California has been rescued after waving a “Help Me!” sign at strangers, officials say.

Steven Robert Sablan, 61, is charged with one count of kidnapping and one count of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, the Justice Department announced in a press release.

Federal prosecutors say that the girl was walking down a street in San Antonio, Texas, on July 6 when Sablan approached her in his car, a gray Nissan Sentra.
