VIRGINIA BEACH -- A North Carolina man's charged with carnal knowldge after allegedly bringing a 13-year-old girl to Va. Beach for sex.
Police say Shawn Engle, 31, of Gates County met the South Carolina teen on MySpace and, after a week of emails, drove to pick her up on August 30.
Soon after, her parents reported her missing.
The teen was located at Engle’s mother’s home in North Carolina on September 15 and authorities issued a kidnapping warrant.
On October 24, a Va. Beach officer found his vehicle in the driveway of a home on Westgrove Road, where an acquaintance lived.
