Man charged in 12-year-old girl’s kidnapping has been charged with aggravated sexual assault

Man charged with aggravated kidnapping has now been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Carlos A. Holcombe 43, is the man El Paso County Sheriff’s investigators say took a 12-year-old girl from the Horizon High School parking lot on Friday.

He was arrested on Saturday and charged with aggravated kidnapping.

The Sheriff’s Office is still seeking any and all information from anyone who may have come in contact with Carlos Holcombe either at Horizon High School or the Cinemark Movie Theater located at 12704 Montana Ave. We believe that there may have been several teenage movie goers who had contact with the victim outside in the parking lot of the Movie Theater.

We are urging anyone who had contact with the victim at the Movie Theater to contact the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office at (915) 546-2280.

According to the complaint affidavit on the aggravated kidnapping, Holcombe asked the girl to help him move some boxes.

That’s when he allegedly put a gun to the girl’s back and forced her into his pickup truck.

The girl asked Holcombe if he was going to hurt her and if she was ever going to see her family again.

Holcombe allegedly ordered the girl to keep her head down and put the gun to the back of her head.

The girl said the truck traveled a short distance and went into a garage.

The girl told investigators that once inside the garage, Holcombe covered her eyes with duct tape and tied her hands and allegedly raped her.

The victim gave detectives a detailed description of the suspect and his vehicle.

Investigators say they used surveillance footage from Horizon High School showing a man matching the description at home near the school.

The girl says Holcombe dropped her off at a movie theater on the 12000 block of Montana.
