Aaron Mitchell, 27, was employed as a CBP agent in the district of Arizona when he allegedly committed these crimes on April 25.

The formal three counts against Mitchell are sexually assaulting and kidnapping a minor victim, kidnapping a minor victim and misleading state investigators.

The alleged victim was 15 years old when they were allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney Gary M. Restaino for the District of Arizona, Assistant Director Luis Quesada of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division and Special Agent in Charge Akil Davis of the FBI Phoenix Field Office made the announcement on Wednesday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Carin Duryee for the district of Arizona and trial attorney MarLa Duncan of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.

In a report, the RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) nonprofit organization has detailed the data surrounding sexual assault and minors in the U.S, saying: “One in 9 girls and 1 in 53 boys under the age of 18 experience sexual abuse or assault at the hands of an adult.”

“82 percent of all victims under 18 are female, Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault,” it added.

The nonprofit also highlighted the long-term issues of sexual abuse on victims.

It said victims “about 4 times more likely to develop symptoms of drug abuse.

“About 4 times more likely to experience PTSD as adults. About 3 times more likely to experience a major depressive episode as adults.”

The nonprofit has said that the primary data source it used was the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). This survey is an annual study that is conducted by the Justice Department.

As part of the study, researchers interview tens of thousands of Americans to learn about the crimes that they have experienced. The study aims to estimate the total number of crimes that have been committed including those that were not reported to the police.

In addition to this study, RAINN also relies on data collected from the Department of Health and Human Services as well as other government and academic sources.

Newsweek has contacted the Department of Justice for comment.
