COUNTY — A missing Indiana 16-year-old was returned to her parents earlier this week after being found in Pickens County.

According to Pickens County Sheriff’s Office chief deputy Creed Hashe, no charges have been filed in the case, as the girl told detectives she had told a Pickens man she met online that she was 18. The man, with whom the girl had an online relationship for several months, according to reports, had driven to Indiana to pick her up.

Pickens County deputies are working in a support role to Indiana authorities, Hashe said. He said though no crimes appear to have been committed in South Carolina at this stage in the investigation, Indiana authorities are still investigating and determining what, if any, charges will be filed.

Hashe said the girl was unharmed and “definitely not being held against her will,” and spent the night at the law enforcement center waiting for her parents to arrive to take her back to Indiana after being located by detectives.
