Illegal migrant allegedly held woman hostage for days in Texas

An illegal migrant from Honduras allegedly kept a sex trafficking victim hostage for five days without food or water — while he beat her and sexually assaulted her, authorities said.

Jose Carcamo, 22, was arrested last Monday after he allegedly held the woman captive when she tried to flee a trafficking ring in Houston, Texas, according to KPRC 2.

Chilling Ring doorbell camera footage allegedly shows the illegal migrant snatching her off the street and carrying her away as she kicked frantically.

Carcamo then locked the woman, who is a Chinese national, in a room inside an East Houston trailer home for five days without food or water, according to court documents obtained KPRC 2.

The man is also accused of tying her up, punching her and raping her while she was in captivity.

Cops were first alerted to the alleged trafficking ring after receiving a 911 call from a woman screaming for help.

A witness then reported seeing a woman running down the street before a man snatched her and carried her away.

When deputies searched the East Houston trailer home, they found the woman locked inside a closet, KPRC 2 reported.

The woman said she was transported from New York to Texas for a new masseuse job that promised more cash.

But the situation quickly turned dark after her captors confiscated her Chinese passport and moved her into the trailer home.

While in captivity, the woman said she was tied up and sexually assaulted by Carcamo on multiple occasions.

“She said she was a masseuse up in New York. She was offered a position down here in Houston that paid more money. So she was given transportation down here. Someone drove her. Said she spent about four or five days or so in a car driving down here,” Lt. John Klafka, the chief of the adult special crimes unit at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, said.

The Chinese woman was locked in the closet after she attempted to break free.

“He obviously is not the one that drove her from New York,” Klafka said, adding that there are “other people involved.”

“This is a very traumatic event. You know, you’re in a foreign country. You were brought from one giant city to another that’s halfway across the country, south. And she has no friends, no family. Nobody is here for her. So we’ve got to do everything we can to ensure that she can trust us to do our jobs and find the rest of the people that are involved in this,” Klafka said.

Authorities believe the incident is linked to a larger trafficking ring involving more suspects and victims, according to KPRC 2.

Carcomo was arrested on July 14 and charged with aggravated kidnapping.

The migrant’s attorney said that Carcamo “maintains complete innocence.”

“Our client, Mr. Jose Carcamo, is shocked by the serious allegations brought forth against him and firmly maintains his complete innocence. He fully expects that the evidence will ultimately clear his name,” the lawyer said in a statement to KPRC 2.

The victim is safe and is receiving counseling and medical care at an undisclosed location, the outlet added.
