Kidnapping suspect hit with additional charges after woman's daring escape.

A kidnapping suspect accused of holding a woman hostage for a year and dragging her across the country now faces new charges of sexual assault and theft by extortion. James W. Parrillo Jr. was arrested in February after the woman escaped to a gas station in New Jersey. Parrillo is believed to be a skilled conman who has preyed on women for decades. The victim met Parrillo at a gas station in New Mexico in 2022 and entered into a voluntary relationship with him until he allegedly physically assaulted her. Parrillo is also accused of holding another woman captive in 2018 and kidnapping a Florida single mother in 1993-1994.
