Virginia man arrested for abducting, sexually assaulting missing juvenile

LEESBURG, Va. — Leesburg Police have made an arrest in the case of a missing juvenile who was sexually assaulted multiple times over the past year.

Brandon Estrada De Leon, 20, of Leesburg is charged with one count of abduction, one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and three counts of rape in connection to a report of a missing juvenile who left on their own accord earlier this year.

Police say the juvenile was recovered safely, however, the investigation that followed revealed Estrada De Leon had harbored the juvenile who he knew prior to the assaults.

Investigators claim Estrada De Leon misled authorities by not telling them where the juvenile was located. It was also discovered that he had sexually assaulted the victim multiple times over the past year.

Estrada De Leon remains held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center with no bond.

The investigation into this case is active and ongoing.

A new body camera video from Fairfax County Police shows an example of how the growing Co-Responder Unit works. Police released footage of an interaction between an officer and a man that happened about two months ago on top of a parking garage. An officer could be seen approaching a man perched on the end of the garage, seemingly wanting to jump off. The officer repeatedly told the individual that the police were there to help.
