A man that allegedly kidnapped a 13-year-old girl at gunpoint in Texas, then repeatedly sexually assaulted her while driving her to Long Beach, where she was rescued by waving a “help me” note to passersby, pleaded not guilty on July 31 to a pair of federal charges.

Steven Robert Sablan, 61, of Cleburne, Texas, is charged with one count each of kidnapping and transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
