Teen held captive for 2 years in Ill. home leads police back to child she left behind

(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON PARK, Ill. - A teenage girl reported missing more than two years ago escaped this week after being held captive and repeatedly sexually assaulted, authorities said. She led police yesterday to a home in southwestern Illinois where officers rescued the child she said she had to leave behind.

The girl reported that she was raped by her captor, got pregnant and had a baby. She told police she escaped Tuesday but could not take the child with her.

About two dozen members of a SWAT team raided the house Thursday afternoon with their assault rifles drawn. They took a 24-year-old man and his mother into custody and also recovered the teen's young child.

Washington Park Police Chief David Clark said they believe the man's mother aided the crimes. Police would not identify either of them by name because they had not been charged as of early Friday.

She wasn't really raped or she wouldn't have become pregnant. Right Rep. Aikin?
