Missing East Granby Teen Found With Sex Offender in Hartford

A 15-year-old reported missing from East Granby last Friday was found in Hartford on Wednesday at the apartment of a registered sex offender, according to state police.

State police said detectives tracked the teen to 33 Rowe Avenue in Hartford, where authorities found her with Jonathan Gonzalez, 23, a registered sex offender.

The teen was not hurt and went to the apartment of her own accord, according to police.

State police issued a Silver Alert after the teen's parents reported her missing Friday night. The alert was canceled Wednesday after she was found safe.

Police initially said the teen may have been traveling to Boston or Brooklyn for Fashion Week.

Gonzalez was arrested for violating probation by having unsupervised contact with a minor. He was taken into police custody and held on $1 million bond. Gonzalez is due in court Thursday.

State police said they expect to file more charges in connection with the case.
