Man wanted for raping girl, 9, extradited to Butler County

BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio —

A Mexican man is back in Butler County to face charges that he kidnapped and raped a 9-year-old girl in 2005.

Alfredo Lopez Cruz, 31, is being held without bond in Butler County.

Lopez Cruz disappeared soon after the girl told family members she had been assaulted. The home where he was believed to have been staying was vandalized and set on fire.

Federal officials announced in March that Lopez Cruz had been taken into custody in Mexico after a joint effort by authorities to locate him.
