A Minnesota teen who was kidnapped for almost a month swam across a lake Tuesday to escape her abductors, officials said.
Jasmine Block, 15, of Alexandria, Minn., made it safely across the lake before running onto a property where she received help, CBS Minnesota reported. Authorities said Block was kidnapped on Aug. 8 by Thomas Barker, 32, who urged the teen to get into his car and drove her to a residence in Carlos. Barker, his roommate and another friend physically and sexually assaulted the teenager, officials said. “Barker tied her up with zip ties and then he, his roommate and friend over the next several weeks assaulted her and threatened her with weapons,” Alexandria Police Chief Rick Wyffels said. Police arrested Barker, Steven Powers, 20, and Joshua Holby, 31, in connection with the kidnapping, the New York Post reported. Block was able to make her escape after the kidnappers left her alone Tuesday, officials said. The teen reportedly knocked on the doors of a few homes but she did not receive any answers. She then jumped into the Thompson Lake and swam across. When she got across the lake, she ran onto a farmer’s property. The farmer identified her and took her to safety. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/09/07/kidnapped-minnesota-teen-swims-over-lake-to-flee-abductors.html |

Could be. But they won't likely prosecute unless she is a minority. Odd that the story identifies the minor alleged sexual assault victim by name. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Atomic Tactical, a local FFL/SOT and I believe a dealer here on ARFCOM had connections to the family of the girl. They posted about it on their Facebook.
Glad she escaped! |

I live in Alexandria, a mile from where she was abducted. There had been numerous searches for her. No one knew she had been abducted. There were flyers everywhere in town with her face and name. The farmer who found her after her swim recognized her from the flyers. The farmer and Jasmine were driving into town talking to 911 dispatcher when Jasmine spotted kidnapper driving his car. They gave dispatcher the description and Barker was arrested almost immediately. A Mn state trooper spotted the other two suspects in a different town called Glenwood not far away. They were arrested shortly thereafter. This is according to police press conference yesterday. These guys are going to Oak Park Heights maximum security pound you in the ass prison eventually. As an ex Leo I am sure they will have their dance card filled daily.

So one sick fuck finds another sick fuck is just two sick fucks getting lucky and finding each other but how do three of them get together?
Some kind of rapist network or Internet site or did they know each other from jail? They all look |

Two older ones were roommates in Carlos, nobody knows how younger guy from Mankato got involved. Internets probably.

Hey kids. Don't get in a car with a man you don't know.
That's not blaming the victim for anything other that the stupid thing she did. Now, tie something heavy to the three wastes of oxygen and toss them in the lake. |

Interesting that none of them were charged with rape or sexual assault.

A 15 year old girl. How many years is it going to be before she isn't think about this 50 times a day? How will she ever not be suspicious of every guy she ever even sees? Just shoot the bastards.

Barker suspect is a family acquaintance. He asked her to help with 'family' situation. She has a slight developmental disability.
