An illegal alien is facing a slew of charges in the abduction and rape of an underage girl in North Carolina this week, authorities say.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) just released disturbing details about the case and suspect.
On Wednesday, LCSO launched an investigation after a 14-year-old girl failed to return home from school.
“Investigators discovered that Victor Alfonso Villalba Bustamante (41), had picked up the student, and they were later found together at a hotel in Sanford,” LCSO explained in a press release.
Bustamante was taken into custody and charged with two counts of statutory rape, abduction of a child, felony conspiracy to commit abduction, second-degree kidnapping, and solicitation of a minor by computer.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer against Bustamante, as he is illegally present in the U.S., although his nationality remains unclear.
He is currently being held at Lee County Detention Facility on $3 million bond.
