Missing 12-Year-Old Girl Found with 34-Year-Old Boyfriend After Telling Dad to Stop Looking for Her

Maria Gomez-Perez

Do people not understand this is normal in Mexico? And legal?

They bring in all of these primitive people, who don’t know the rules, they don’t ever explain the rules to them, then they flip out when they do things that are considered normal in their own culture.

New York Post:

A Georgia girl who vanished two months ago was finally found more than 600 miles from home this week with an adult man she supposedly met online.

Maria Gomez-Perez, 12, was recovered safely in Dover, Ohio, on Thursday — eight weeks after she was last seen at her family’s home in Gainesville, Ga., on May 29, Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said during a press conference Friday morning.

Gomez-Perez was tracked to Ohio when she used a new Facebook account to message her father last week, saying that she was fine and wanted him to stop looking for her.

Investigators traced the IP address of the account that sent the messages to an address in Dover, where four investigators traveled and made visual contact with Gomez-Perez and Antonio Agustin, 34, at a local pool on Thursday.

“We believe Maria had been communicating for a time with Mr. Augustin via Facebook Messenger and other online apps,” Couch said.

“Maria had indicated she was unhappy and wanted to leave home. We also know she had been communicating with other adult males online, telling them the same thing,” he noted, adding that the girl “is the victim here — she is only 12 years old.”

Gomez-Perez was born in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, and moved to the US with her dad when she was 6, the outlet reported.

She was going around on the internet looking for adult Mexican men to come get her, but she’s the victim?

I get that you don’t want 12-year-old girls running away from home with boyfriends in their 30s.

But these people are literally not aware that this is a crime.
