A Kentucky man faces rape and several other serious charges after a missing North Carolina 16-year-old was found inside a trap door hidden underneath the rug at his house.
Zackary Jones, 34, was arrested after Lincoln County deputies responded to a report of domestic violence at his home on Christmas Day.
Jones answered the door of his home on Robertstown Road in Kings Mountain and told authorities the victim was not there.
Deputies were soon after taken through the home by Jones, according to a police citation.
The officers noticed drugs in plain view, which Jones then tried to get rid of in a wood stove in his bedroom.
Authorities then took Jones into custody, leaving him in the backseat of a police vehicle.
They then returned to try and find the missing girl when they noticed a trap door hidden underneath a bedroom rug.
The girl - a missing 16-year-old from Fayetteville, North Carolina who has yet to be identified - was found.
Officers said that the victim was 'very high' when Jones was arrested.
The 34-year-old man admitted to doing drugs and 'engaging in sexual activity' with the girl. The age of consent is 16 in Kentucky.
However, the girl then stated Jones had taken her from North Carolina and brought him back to his home.
She told police that he had contacted her about two to three weeks earlier and claimed he was 19.
When he arrived at her home, she said he looked older and he admitted he lied. However, he then lied again, saying he was 25.

If it weren’t for the crazy eyes, not a bad looking guy; guess he had to steal a girl in order to have a girlfriend. Ernest T. Bass’ younger brother.
Why didn’t he call the preacher and make it proper? Earnest T. Bass was all about having a proper wedding done by a preacher.
Completely drugged out of his mind. No thanks
This puke criminal deserves to be put to death!!
Justice would be taking him from his home to the nearest tall tree and hanging him.
Utterly deranged. He should be hanged at noon. Poor girl.
How does one hide inside a trap door? In a room behind a trap door is possible but not inside a trap door.Do editors ever read head lines?
Guy should be beaten to death on the spotin my book .
The DM leaves something important out. Again.
LE had the guy at a traffic stop the night the perp picked up the vic.
The perp even threatened the cop.
The cop let the perp leave with the vic.
Maybe he was a Muslim, and wanted her as a wife! I mean, if Pedohammid can have a wife at 5, we should let him have a wife who’s 14! Diversity is our strength!! 🤓
He should be shot and left for animals to pick on.
>> Poor girl.
Not to blame the victim, but she (and her like-minded sisters) are part of the problem.
FA&FO, she did both.
