BRIDGEPORT, Wash. (AP) - A 13-year-old girl in Bridgeport told the Douglas County sheriff's office that her fiance had disappeared.

A deputy took a missing person report in November from the girl who said she had been dating and stared having sex with a 19-year-old in early October. The girl said the two of them moved into her sister's home in Bridgeport a couple days later.

During the investigation the girl said she received a text message from her fiance from Tijuana, Mexico.

The Wenatchee World reports an arrest warrant was issued Thursday for the man, Fernando Torres-Coronado, on a rape charge. If convicted, he could face life in prison and/or a $50,000 fine.
