A 16-year-old autistic girl who was allegedly abducted last February by an adult male met the man online while playing World of Warcraft, according to a police affidavit filed in the case.

Thirty-eight-year-old David Faboo ... drove from Oregon to the girl's town in Northern California for what may have been a prearranged meeting on the morning of Sunday, February 24. After the teenager got into his truck, Faboo headed back to Oregon on a five-hour road trip for the purpose, police say, of having sex with her.

Police caught up with the two on an Oregon highway only after the girl sent text messages from her cellphone to a friend telling him she'd made the mistake of getting into a car with the wrong man. The unidentified girl, who is described in a police affidavit as being autistic and having the mental capacity of a 12-year-old, asked her friend for help and described the white Dodge pickup Faboo was driving.

When police stopped the truck, they found rope, several knives and knife blades, a hatchet, a box of condoms and sex toys, as well as a box of chocolates and a diamond ring. The back of the truck had been outfitted with a makeshift bed.

Faboo, who used the avatar "Avelys," met the girl in a World of Warcraft chat room in January. Over several weeks, the two formed "a love bond," according to Faboo's roommate, and would sometimes stay up through the night playing the online game and communicating via IM, e-mail, and their MySpace accounts. Faboo told the roommate that he planned to marry the girl in the fantasy game and in real life. He tried to convince a female friend identified in the affidavit as Robin T. to deliver flowers, candy and a cellphone to the girl on Valentine's Day, but the friend refused.
