Overview

• The attack unfolded before dawn Saturday in Adelia María, where Sergio Sosa, 37, allegedly broke into his former boss’s home, assaulted the partner and kidnapped the couple’s 29-year-old daughter.
• Police located the family’s Toyota Hilux on rural roads near Las Acequias; after an interception and crash, Sosa tried to flee on foot before being captured and the young woman was rescued.
• Prosecutor Pablo Jávega of the Río Cuarto office formally imputed Sosa for unlawful deprivation of liberty, aggravated robbery, sexual assault with carnal access and unlawful entry.
• The rescued woman was treated for contusions and a minor cut, while her mother was hospitalized for more severe injuries from the beating, according to police and hospital reports.
• Investigators report he acted alone and are examining motive linked to prior employment and a reported sentimental tie, as provincial authorities reinforced the search, with police sources noting use of a Byrna less‑lethal launcher in the arrest.
