   Laderio Gordon, 29, was charged with rape of a child and especially aggravated   
   kidnapping, among other charges.   
      
   Gordon was arrested on April 27, court records show.   
      
   An arrest affidavit accuses Cordon of kidnapping and raping a 12-year-old girl   
   two weeks prior, on April 13, 2023.   
      
   That 12-year-old girl was walking to school in the area of Ethlyn Avenue and   
   Silver Street when Gordon pulled out a gun and ordered her into his 2018 Ford   
   Escape, investigators said.   
      
   Gordon then drove away with the girl and told her to turn her phone off and   
   forced her to perform a sexual act on him, his arrest affidavit states.   
      
   Police said that Gordon then offered the girl money, which she declined.   
      
   About 15 minutes later, Gordon dropped the young girl back off at the same   
   location where he abducted her.   
      
   Multiple neighborhood cameras caught Gordon stalking Silver Street and   
   recorded the 29-year-old letting the girl out of his vehicle after the sexual   
   assault, police said.   
      
   Memphis Police said that Gordon admitted to the crimes and the details police   
   outlined in the affidavit.   
      
   For this arrest, Gordon is charged with especially aggravated kidnapping, rape   
   of a child and employment of a firearm with intent to commit a felony.   
      
   One person FOX13 spoke with who lives near Hamilton K-8 school, the area where   
   the 12-year-old was kidnapped, said that they are relieved to know Gordon is   
   off the streets, but questioned the time it took police to alert the community.   
      
   “It feels better in the neighborhood now that we know he's caught," the   
   anonymous neighbor told FOX13. "Really everybody was in an uproar because we   
   didn't know nothing about it until they caught him. Well day before they   
   caught him, anyway. Police,    
   they should have been more active, and let us know so we could have been more   
   prepared instead of us letting these kids walk to school. These kids was   
   walking to school and walking home not knowing that it's a man riding around   
   here kidnapping people.”   
      
   Memphis Police said additional charges will be coming against Gordon related   
   to the kidnappings and sexual assaults.

   What took so long? That was what residents in South Memphis were asking after   
   they learned about a man who police said was abducting young females and   
   sexually assaulting them.   
      
   Two girls abused by Gordon positively identified him, Memphis Police said.   
      
   Memphis Police said that cases involving Gordon have already been reported in   
   the Gaslight, Bunker Hill and Cane Creek areas of South Memphis.   
      
   But, police are continuing to track down leads of other cases which he may be   
   connected to.   
      
   Memphis Police asked that if you have seen anything suspicious or have been   
   approached by Gordon, especially in but not limited to the areas mentioned   
   above, that you call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-2274 (CASH).
