She says he picked her up on Dec. 20, 2011, and said he was going to take her to the home where she was going to stay when she ran away from home.

Instead of taking her to the home, she said he drove her to his northwest Houston home, pulled out a gun and said, "You're gonna stay here with me for a little bit."

The teen said Bledsoe forced her into his bedroom and raped her at gunpoint.

Bledsoe was arrested on Friday and was charged with aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping.
