Overview

  • Jose Armando Carcamo-Perdomo, 22, remains in Harris County Jail on a $150,000 bond facing aggravated kidnapping and assault causing bodily injury charges.
  • ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations lodged a detainer after his July 14 arrest, noting he entered the U.S. illegally from Honduras in May 2020.
  • A neighbor’s surveillance video of Carcamo dragging the victim back into a northeast Harris County trailer prompted a 911 call and led deputies to find her locked in a closet.
  • The unnamed victim, a Chinese national, told investigators she was lured from New York under false job pretenses, had her passport seized and endured at least five days of captivity without food or water alongside repeated sexual assaults.
  • Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators believe the case may involve a larger human smuggling and sex trafficking network and are urging anyone with information to contact authorities.
