JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Two men are now in custody facing federal charges linked to the alleged kidnapping of a woman who walked into a Mississippi police station saying she had been abducted in Florida.
The FBI filed charges Tuesday against 57-year-old Ruperto Moncillo Flores and 31-year-old Jacobo Feliciano-Francisco — also known as Uriel Castillo-Ochoa.
Flores, of Lawrenceville, Ga., is charged with violating the federal Mann Act, which prohibits the transporting of any person in interstate or foreign commerce with the intent that such person engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offence.
Feliciano-Francisco, of Hattiesburg, is charged with kidnapping.
Both are being detained without bond.
