Maria Gomez-Perez, a 12-year-old girl missing from Georgia since May, was found in Dover, Ohio, and a suspect has been arrested.

The girl was located at a shopping center with 31-year-old Antonio Agustin, a Guatemalan citizen. Agustin allegedly traveled to Georgia to meet Gomez-Perez after she expressed unhappiness at home.

The case broke when Gomez-Perez contacted her father via a new social media account, leading detectives to track her location to Ohio.

Agustin was arrested on suspicion of rape, with additional charges possible, Fox News has reported.

Sheriff Gerald Couch noted that while technology aided in locating Gomez-Perez, it also allowed her to leave home with a stranger.
