A teenage girl in Canada managed to run away from the custody of people who had kidnapped her. She reportedly suffered repeated acts of sexual abuse over the weekend.

The 17-year-old Calgary girl was abducted from a bus stop in the Taradale neighbourhood at around 11:30 pm last Friday. A couple of men allegedly grabbed her and then dragged her to an alley where she was sexually abused. She was forced to go to their residence in the Martindale neighbourhood, where she was further assaulted. However, she managed to run away last Saturday after the suspects sexually abused her repeatedly last Friday night, according to police. Sgt. Melanie Onescu said that the girl had managed to escape when the suspects were not paying attention. Both the suspects were taken into custody, CTV News reported. The girl, who ran to her family and reported to the police, might have suffered a concussion.

The suspects have been identified as 25-year-old Corey George Manyshots and his brother 21-year-old Cody George Manyshots. The brothers have been charged with kidnapping, robbery, uttering threats, assault causing bodily harm and sexual assault causing bodily harm. Both appeared in court last Monday. Corey was on bail for several unrelated charges which included mischief, assaulting a peace officer and disturbing a religious ceremony at a Sikh temple, during his arrest. The suspects are going to be in custody until the next court hearing due next week.

According to neighbours, police routinely visit the house of the Manyshots on Martinbrook Road as violence and other unsavoury behaviour were common. One of the neighbours told Calgary Herald that the community was a friendly one while the Manyshots house stood as an exception. He said that things changed after the Manyshots brothers had moved in. The bay window of their house was broken once, he said. He also remembered that one man had chased another down the road after breaking a chair over his back. The people who lived next to their house had to move out in September as they could not take it anymore, he said. The man, a father of a couple of children, said that he was no more comfortable letting his children play unsupervised in the neighbourhood.
