A 40-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old Evans girl in a motel in Weld County.
Authorities said Alfredo Adino-Ramos is being held for investigation of kidnapping and assault.
The Weld County Sheriff’s deputies and Evans police officers found the girl at the Red Coach Inn in Weld County Tuesday night.
She had been missing since Friday, when she started text-messaging her mother. Police said they were still trying to determine what happened, but they believe the girl was enticed to get into a car at Fourth Street and 11th Avenue in Greeley either Friday or Saturday.
Investigators traced the girl to the motel and began knocking on doors. As they neared the room she was in, three men who were holding the girl opened a sliding glass door to the rear of the room and pushed her out.
Adino-Ramos was arrested. The two other men were not.
The girl was taken to an area hospital, as is the standard procedure with any sex assault victim. Her condition is unknown.
Police Adino-Ramos is a native of Honduras but had no information on his immigration status.
