AUBURN — A man charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in 2022 will make an appearance in court on Friday to enter a plea.

Razel M. Gavin, 26, is charged with multiple counts, including kidnapping and two counts of gross sexual assault, each punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

Police said Gavin kidnapped the girl near her home in the early evening of April 25, 2022 before assaulting her multiple times over four hours. Gavin was arrested a day later when police spotted him driving a Volvo station wagon on Minot Avenue.

On the night of April 25, police were called to a home for a report of a missing teenager. That girl’s parents had been called by a concerned friend, police said at the time.

The missing girl was last seen by her parents in a parking lot across the street from their home.

Surveillance video from a local business showed a dark-colored Volvo station wagon with a male operator entering the parking lot and leaving a short time later, police said.

Assisted by other law enforcement agencies, Auburn police located a car matching that description on Minot Avenue. The driver was pulled over and a girl identified as the missing teen was inside with visible signs of assault, according to police.

Gavin also had a loaded firearm in the car, police said.

The girl told investigators she had been threatened by Gavin with a firearm, assaulted and forced into his car.

Police said the girl didn’t know Gavin.

The girl was taken to a local hospital for treatment and reunited with her family.

Gavin also was charged with aggravated assault, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, punishable by up to five years.

Gavin has been held without bail since his arrest.
