Nude Kidnapping Victim Found On Roadway In Spring Valley

Police are searching for a suspect in the kidnapping, and suspected sexual assault.

A nude woman was found on the side of a freeway in Spring Valley Thursday night, after being beaten and sexually assaulted. The 21-year-old victim was helped by motorists after flagging them down along State Route 125 and State Route 54.

The woman, who was kidnapped from the City Heights area in San Diego, told police that she knew her attacker.

“So the community at large does not have to be afraid of being grabbed off the street, sexually assaulted and left naked on the street,” SDPD public affairs Lt. Andra Brown said.
