The victim was abducted by three people while walking on a street in Collier County, according to Law & Crime.
The man was reportedly taken more than 30 minutes from the scene of his abduction in an SUV before being forcibly taken to the home of one of the suspects, 39-year-old Noah Navarro.
According to his version of the facts, this was the beginning of the victim’s ordeal.
The suspects stole his personal belongings, stripped him naked and beat him. Navarro even pointed a gun in his direction. A suspect, Betsy Ann DeJesus, is said to have filmed the man dancing in a dress while threatening to kill him.
Another suspect, Blanca Mejiamedina, is said to have cut off part of the victim’s face, according to authorities.
A few minutes later, the victim was taken to another sector, but he managed to escape from his captors.
Police present at the second Glades County crime scene prevented the kidnappers from catching up with the individual.
The man then hid in a church and dialed 911 to notify police of his whereabouts.
According to the local police’s initial report, the victim continued to receive threats on his cellphone.
All three arrested are charged with aggravated assault, burglary and kidnapping.
