BOISE - A Boise man has been arrested after he allegedly sexually assaulted a teen runaway.
Authorities say Ryan VanHook, 33, helped the teen girl leave her home in Boise County in late November. Investigators say VanHook sheltered the teen at his home in Boise. She was found Dec. 12.
Sheriff Ben Roeber said the teen, who ran away from her Garden Valley home, has been returned safely to her family. 2News has learned the girl's identity, but is not publishing it because she's a minor and an alleged victim of abuse.
The alleged sexual abuse occurred in Boise, authorities say.
