The Mail Tribune reports that Laramie Torres, 35, was arrested in Erie, Pa. He is charged in Medford with 10 counts of first-degree rape and 10 counts of first-degree sodomy for abuse of a girl that started when she was 11 and continued until she was 15.
Torres was indicted on Nov. 22 and then fled Oregon.
Friends and family of the victim in the case started a Facebook page dedicated to collecting tips about where Torres was. A tip in Michigan eventually led police to Pennsylvania, where a Pennsylvania State Police trooper was able to track Torres to an apartment in Erie.
Torres is being held in the Erie County Jail on $250,000 bail, pending extradition.
