PERRIS (CBS) — A Romoland woman says a male friend abducted her from her residence, sexually assaulted her and kept her at an undisclosed location for six days, according to Riverside Sheriff's.
On November 23, 2011, at about 9:00 p.m., deputies responded to a residence in Romoland regarding a past sexual assault.
The victim reported that at 11:00 p.m. on October 23, 2011, a male friend, who was identified as 26-year-old Anastasios Stefanidis of San Bernardino, abducted her from her residence and sexually assaulted her in his vehicle.
