CHULA VISTA, CA — A 19-year-old from Oregon was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of taking a 12-year-old Chula Vista girl away from her home for sexual purposes, authorities reported Monday.
Darrien Jenkins allegedly traveled to San Diego County on Sunday to meet with the child, according to the Chula Vista Police Department.
"The victim told family members she wanted to ride her bicycle and would be outside," CVPD Lt. Dan Peak said. "The family then observed the bike still at the residence and was unable to locate the victim. The family then contacted (the police) regarding a possible kidnapping."
