Iowa Sex Offender Registry
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A statewide Amber Alert was issued after a 10-year-old mentally disabled Cedar Rapids girl was abducted from her home by a registered sex offender.

Jetseta Marrie Gage, who is mentally challenged, was taken from her home by Roger P. Bentley (search), who was convicted in 1994 of child molestation. Police also described him as a family acquaintance.

Anyone who might have information leading to Gage's whereabouts was asked to call Cedar Rapids Police at 319-286-5491.

Bentley apparently took Gage at about 8:15 p.m. Thursday night in a black and silver pickup truck. Gage's 7-year-old brother witnessed the abduction, police said.

"The grandmother and children were there. The grandmother was looking out for them and that the acquaintance took the 10-year-old without permission," Cedar Rapids police Lt. Kelly Fitzpatrick said Friday.

Police don't know why Bentley took the child or where they may be headed, he said.

"Believe me, we've been hitting a lot of leads to try and find her," Fitzpatrick said.

He said investigators were still trying to determine how Bentley took the child.

The grandmother was in the house "but not there to prevent the 10-year-old from disappearing, no," he said.

The search for the little girl comes a month after a missing Florida girl first drew national attention. The body of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford (search) was found Sunday; John Couey, a convicted sex offender, has been charged with her murder.

Gage is white, 4-feet-6-inches tall and 90 pounds. She has brown, wavy, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She was wearing an orange coat and purple pants.

Bentley is white, 6-feet-1-inches tall and 265 pounds, with blond hair, hazel eyes and a tattoo on his right shoulder. He was wearing a flannel shirt.

The pickup truck is a black and silver 1982 Datsun king cab with a silver topper with Iowa license 392MIZ.

In related news, a local judge orders a halt to the search for missing girl, in order to protect the rights of the alleged sex offender.

Because he just might be innocent? Innocent until proven guilty; also, angry women have been known to abuse the Amber Alert system in order to get back at an ex or boyfriend that's annoyed them. If he confesses, it's another matter entirely.

He's already a registered sex offender. If he had been removed from the gene pool THEN, we would not be worrying NOW.

Maybe because she was referring to his PRIOR CONVICTION for sex offense!

I agree 100%.

Thanks.

According to the Iowa sex offender registry, he was convicted of "Lascivious Acts with a Child".

Yup. She's probably in a bad state now, anyway, and there's little hope. Let's just let her die. :-(

"Suspect is currently being questioned."

If he proves unwilling to talk, they should cut off his food.
