- The man allegedly forced the girl into a car and drove her 800 kilometers from Berlin
A teenager was kidnapped and taken to an apartment in Germany’s Black Forest, where reports say she was tied up and repeatedly raped by a man she met on holiday.
The 18-year-old woman has been missing since last Tuesday and was being held captive by the 22-year-old man, whom she first met abroad.
The pair reportedly met again at the woman’s apartment in Berlin, where he stayed with her for a while.
Things took a dark turn when the man threatened the woman with a gun and tied her up, before forcing her into his car and driving her almost 500 miles to Kinzigtal.
There he took her to an apartment where she was raped for several days before she was eventually discovered after her family raised the alarm.

Friends and family had searched for the teenager for three days before reporting her missing to police.
The man, from Lahr in southwestern Germany, was arrested and reportedly remains in police custody.
Police who searched the apartment said they found a blank gun. They added that the property was not the man’s home but was “accessible” to him. BIL reports.
A police spokesperson said: ‘Conversations were held and during the course of the investigation it was suspected that a sexual offense may have been committed and that there had been deprivation of liberty.’
