On Friday night, you heard the gripping, terrifying narrative from one of Bert Vasquez's alleged victims. She was only 16 in May of 2011 when he allegedly forced her into his car at gunpoint - and forced her to perform oral sex. She says he beat her repeatedly, put a gun to her head and then chased her out of his car.
Regrettably, we could not track down any photos to show how badly she was beaten - but we did speak with the woman who rescued her in the Vista Del Mar area - and she told us the teenager's face looked destroyed:...
Voice of rescuer
"I saw her and the only reason why I recognize her was her voice and so when I look at her face it was almost unrecognizable. I could see the bumps, it was swelling in one side - she could barely open up one side of her eye because it was so swollen. She had pumps and bruises on the back of her head. He face was a different color because it was so bruise - she went from a brown to almost like a black color to one side because it was so bruise and so swollen."
"It doesn't register to me how someone can do something like that to an innocent child, she was really only a child, she was really only sixteen."
The young lady still has long term damage from the hellish encounter: she got multiple broken teeth - which have had to be filed down. Vasquez has been committed to stand trial for that forcible abduction.
