COVINGTON, Ky. (WXIX) - A 19-year-old was arrested after police said he took a 13-year-old girl from Mississippi to Northern Kentucky. Robin Velasquez-Perez, 19, is being held on a $10,000 bond for rape, custodial interference and an immigration-related charge, according to Covington police. The charges stem from a missing person investigation that started in Mississippi. Police say the 13-year-old left her home in Ridgeland, Mississippi, with an unknown man on June 26. Thanks to the teen's cell phone, Mississippi detectives were able to track her location to Covington, police said.
