An Arkansas couple has been arrested and charged for allegedly abducting and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl from South Carolina who was later rescued from the couple’s home. The suspects have been identified as Brandon Lee Britten, 31, and Sierra Dawn Britten, 28, according to the Independence County Sheriff’s Department.
The couple was taken into custody on September 9, 2026, after officers from the sheriff department responded to a call by Spartanburg County, South Carolina, regarding an abducted child possibly being in the northern area of Independence County.
