Man (28) Leaves Girl (14) in Forest with Tent to Celebrate Christmas with Family

sint rose - A 28-year-old man from Louisiana, USA, was arrested for kidnapping after having sex with a 14-year-old girl and leaving her in the forest while he went to celebrate Christmas with his family.

The missing 14-year-old girl from Tennessee was found safe in a forest in Louisiana. She disappeared on December 23 after being picked up by 28-year-old Alexander Materne. The two had met online on a gaming platform and had planned to meet in person.

After picking up the girl at her home in Tennessee, Materne drove her to his residence in Sint Rose, Louisiana. There, the two had sex. The girl later confessed that she was only 14 years old. Materne then took the girl to a remote, wooded area in Tangipahoa Parish, about 68 kilometers away, and left her there with a tent, food, and water. He then drove to his parents' house in Jennings, Louisiana, to celebrate Christmas.

The girl was found after her parents discovered her relationship with Materne. They managed to locate Materne's parental address in Jennings. However, when the police went to the door, they were informed that the twenty-something no longer lived there. A day later, the police received a call reporting that the man was indeed present in the house to celebrate Christmas. He was questioned by the police, and he agreed to show them where he had left the girl in the forest.

Officers quickly went to the location where the girl had been staying for two days. She was found in good health but was taken to the hospital for a check-up. Materne was arrested and charged with kidnapping a child. He was later formally arrested for human trafficking and sexual offenses.
