A teen who went missing in Los Angeles in April was discovered a month later in Northern California, having been kidnapped and used as a sex slave on a marijuana farm.
According to a criminal complaint, when the girl wasn't being used to harvest marijuana she was locked for days at a time in a 4-foot by 2-foot metal toolbox.
The toolbox had holes punched in it so she could breathe, and a blanket. Another hole was drilled into the box so they could a run a hose through it to clean out human waste without letting her out.
Police believe she was kidnapped by Ryan Balletto, 30 and Patrick Pearmain, 25. They raided Balletto's house and asked about the teen. The next day the girl called the police to report that she was okay.
Authorities were able to trace that call to the girls location at a west Sacramento motel, where the two men were arrested.
After her rescue the girl recalled two occasions where she was in the box for three days.
The girl told investigators that both men had sex with her, and that it was consensual with Pearmain. Since she is a minor, officers informed her that she is 'legally unable' to consent to sex with an adult.
