TL;DR Summary

A 13-year-old girl who went missing from Houston in February was found living with a 27-year-old man in Perry County, Mississippi. The man, Thomas Patton, was arrested and charged with sexual battery and kidnapping. Authorities believe Patton met the girl in Houston while he was there for work and transported her back to his residence in Mississippi. The incident is similar to trafficking, but Patton cannot be charged with it as there was no exchange of money or materials. The girl's parents reported her missing in February, and she was found by a couple who contacted authorities after seeing her walking along a highway.
