ADL Calls for Fox Sports to Condemn Controversial Kanye West Ad

A Texas man was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl. Steven Robert Sablan, 63, of Cleburne, abducted the victim in San Antonio and drove her to California, threatening her with a firearm throughout the journey, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
The rescue of the girl took place on July 9, 2023, outside a laundromat in Long Beach where she wrote "Help Me!" on a torn piece of paper. A passerby noticed her plea and alerted authorities. Upon arrival, police found her in a silver Nissan Sentra and swiftly extracted her from the vehicle.
Sablan pleaded guilty to kidnapping earlier this year. Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph T. McNally emphasized the importance of protecting children, stating, “There is nothing as important as protecting our young people.” In addition to his prison sentence, Sablan was ordered to pay $1,158 in restitution.
