HEROIC DAD saves daughter after she was kidnapped on Christmas Day

A heroic Texas father saved his 15-year-old daughter after she was kidnapped and held in the woods with a half naked pedophile predator named Giovanni Rosales Espinoza.

This occurred in Porter, Texas, which is just north of Houston.

The short version is that when the daughter took her dog for a walk and didn’t return home, the father used parental controls to track her phone and found her in the woods inside a pickup track with a half-naked Espinoza.

Espinoza has now been arrested for Aggravated Kidnapping and Indecency with a Child, according to Montgomery County Sheriff Wesley Doolittle:

On December 25, 2025, at approximately 4:50 p.m., patrol deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 4000 block of Conner Mills Court in Porter, Texas in reference to a reported kidnapping of a 15-year-old female. Upon arrival, deputies learned that the victim had taken her dog out for a walk and when she did not return at her usual time, her parents became concerned. Using parental controls to locate the victim’s phone, her father traveled to a secluded, partially wooded area in Harris County nearly 2 miles away. The father located the victim and her dog inside a maroon-colored pickup truck with a partially nude 23-year-old male. The father helped his daughter escape from the truck and contacted law enforcement.

Investigations revealed that the suspect had threatened the victim with a knife and abducted her from the street. Witnesses at the scene provided a detailed description of the suspect vehicle. Deputies were able to successfully locate the vehicle and identify the driver as 23-year-old Giovanni Rosales Espinoza from Porter, TX.

Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit responded to the scene and continued their investigation. Espinosa was taken into custody without incident and charged with Aggravated Kidnapping and Indecency with a Child. He remains in the Montgomery County Jail at this time with no bond.

Sheriff Wesley Doolittle stated: “Christmas is a day meant for joy, but this man chose to shatter that joy by targeting a child. I am incredibly proud of our deputies and detectives who worked tirelessly to ensure this dangerous predator was swiftly apprehended and is now off our streets. Rest assured that your Sheriff’s Office remains vigilant every hour of every day to keep your families safe.”

The investigation remains active and ongoing and no further information can be released at this time.

I’d say Espinoza is lucky to be alive and isn’t riddled with bullet holes. And this daughter is lucky to have such a heroic father who went the extra mile to rescue her.

Just think for a moment of the terror this 15-year-old was experiencing, and the sheer joy she felt when her heroic father showed up to rescue her. Brings a tear to my eye.
