A 12-year-old girl was found shaking, her face pressed against a bathroom wall, after she was allegedly taken from South Carolina to an Arkansas home, where investigators say Brandon Lee Britten raped her. Britten, 31, and Sierra Dawn Britten, 28, of Independence County, now face a combined six felony charges.
Court documents allege the pair had been in contact with the child online for a month before Brandon Britten drove roughly 11 hours to collect her. The case has attracted widespread attention after law enforcement detailed the child's rescue in a sworn affidavit.
