   San Antonio teen kidnapping: Steven Sablan Texas man abducts 13 year old teen   
   girl, sexually assaults her during 3 day trip until she is rescued after   
   holding Help Me sign from inside vehicle outside laundromat.   
   A 13-year-old girl who was kidnapped at gunpoint in Texas was rescued in   
   California earlier this month after a passersby spotted her holding up a   
   ‘Help Me!’ sign from the inside of a parked car.   
      
   The victim, who had been ongoing sexually assaulted during the drive from   
   Texas to California was saved from the vehicle at the Easy Wash Laundromat in   
   Long Beach on July 9.   
      
   Steven Robert Sablan, 61, of Cleburne, Texas, was arrested and charged with   
   kidnapping and transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal   
   sexual activity according to a release from the Long Beach Police Department.   
      
   Texas man (repeat offender) pleads guilty to kidnapping 13 year old girl at   
   gunpoint   
      
   Regular customers at laundromat acknowledged teen girl   
   The un-named teen girl’s rescue came three days after she was allegedly   
   abducted at gunpoint from San Antonio before driving 19 hours across the US to   
   Long Beach.   
      
   Investigators say Sablan stopped at a laundromat to wash their clothes and   
   asked an employee where he could grab some food.   
      
   The employee told KABC that she sensed something was wrong, so she stalled him.   
      
   Moments later, the girl held up a ‘Help me’ sign she made with a crumpled   
   up piece of paper and a passerby called 911. Responding officers said they saw   
   Sablan standing outside the vehicle with the victim, who mouthed the word   
   ‘Help.’   
      
   ‘Through their investigation, officers learned the Good Samaritans were in a   
   parking lot when they saw the victim in a parked vehicle holding up a piece of   
   paper with ‘help me’ written on it’, cops said.   
      
   ‘The customers – who are regulars at Easy Wash Laundromat in Long Beach   
   – acknowledged the note and immediately called 9-1-1.’   
      
   ‘Help me!’   
   ‘I feel happy. I feel like God told me to stop him. That’s how she got   
   rescued,’ the employee, Touch Vong, said.   
      
   Sablan following his arrest was being held at the federal Metropolitan   
   Detention Center in downtown LA.   
      
   The girl came to be abducted while walking along a street in San Antonio on   
   July 6 when Sablan allegedly drove up, raised a black handgun and told her,   
   ‘If you don’t get in the car with me, I am going to hurt you,’ according   
   to an affidavit.   
      
   According to the account, the girl had left home without telling her parents   
   because she was trying to visit a school friend who had moved to Australia a   
   year earlier, NBC Los Angeles reported.   
      
   At some point after getting in Sablan’s car, the girl told her captor about   
   her friend and Sablan said he could take her to a cruise ship to go to   
   Australia, but that she would have to do something for him, the affidavit said.   
      
   ‘Fetish Fantasy Series Designer Cuffs,’   
   The suspect stopped the car and sexually assaulted the girl, who told him to   
   stop but was scared that she would be hurt if she did not comply, according to   
   the affidavit.   
      
   Sablan sexually assaulted the girl several more times on the drive from San   
   Antonio through New Mexico and Arizona and into California, the affidavit   
   stated.   
      
   Meanwhile, the girl’s mother reported her missing to San Antonio authorities   
   on July 7.
