Police: Teen Kidnapped, Manages to Escape Call Police, Jerry Yarborough Arrested

[Whisper]

Jerry Yarborough

A man is under arrest for kidnapping charges Tuesday after holding a 15-year-old girl against her will in his car.

The man, 37-year-old Jerry Shaun Yarborough, is said to know the victim, but the exact relationship has not been released at this time.

Police aren’t saying how or why the victim got into the suspect’s car, only that she was held against her will and was able to escape and call police. Yarborough was later arrested as he walked away from his house near Mosswood Avenue and Commerce Street around 6:30 p.m. Monday.

In addition to kidnapping, Yarborough was also charged with possession of a controlled substance, indecent exposure, annoying and molesting a child, lewd acts with a child, and altering a fake fire arm.

Say what? Why can't they say how she got in the car? Sounds like perhaps she was working the streets and met up with the wrong dude? Eww I feel disgusting saying that about a 15 year old but I have seen and read worse.

My guess is actually that he was a family friend and so she got into his car to go somewhere with him, or he picked her up as she was walking somewhere. Knowing him, she might not have a problem accepting a ride from him. Then, once inside, the douchebag exposes himself in an attempt to woo the kid, who freaks. He then tries to force her to stay and tries to rape her, but she gets away and smartly calls the police. If she was just a streetwalker, I don't know why there should ever be a charge of him exposing himself, or molesting her because she would've gladly accepted these for payment, and would have no reason to escape. And, once she escaped, why call police and expose her own illegal activity. No, this sounds like classic child molestation by friend of the family gone awry, and nothing like prostitution.

Prostitutes can be held against their will, especially if the "john" doesn't want to pay. Maybe she got in the car as a prostitute and once in there he refused to pay her, and refused to let her leave.

Prostitute/family friend...either scenario is plausible.
