A Georgetown man was arrested Monday and charged with attempted kidnapping after an allegation that he “attempted to lure” a 10-year-old girl into a van, according to court records.
Moises Quebrado Vergara is accused of following a 10-year-old girl in his white van from where she was dropped off by the school bus to her home, according to Vergara’s arrest citation.
The girl reported that “Vergara attempted to lure her into his van by finger gestures and verbal communications numerous times,” according to the citation.
Part of the interaction was caught on a home security camera in the south Georgetown neighborhood where the incident occurred, according to the citation.
LEX 18’s Leigh Searcy obtained the footage, which shows a man getting out of a white van, walking to the back door of the vehicle, and briefly saying something to a young girl walking by in the opposite direction. As the girl walks away, the man opens the back door of the van, leans in, closes it, and then gets back into the vehicle and drives away.
