Kidnap teen was ‘held for decade’

A man charged with raping and kidnapping a 15-year-old girl and holding her for a decade was due in court in the US late last night.

Authorities say Southern Californian Isidro Garcia, aged 41, made the girl marry him several years later and fathered a daughter with her.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled in Orange County Superior Court to determine whether Garcia should stand trial on charges of sexual abuse and kidnapping. He has pleaded not guilty.
