Rudy Farias mother kept him as sex slave for 8 years after he was reported missing, counselor says

Rudy Farias’s mom has been accused of making him ‘play daddy’ treating him like a slave, and giving him hallucinogenic drugs during the eight years she claimed the boy was missing.

The 25-year-old met with authorities on Wednesday for the first time since he was found outside a church last week after he allegedly went missing in 2015.

He was seen hiding his face under a blanket as he was escorted out of a Houston hotel by counselor Quanell X, who became emotional as he described his conversation with the young man.

Rudy reportedly said his mother Janie Santana had been drugging him and sexually abusing him for years. He only spoke up after authorities separated him from Santana, Quanell said.

Footage posted by independent journalist Grizzy’s Hood News shows Rudy being led outside the hotel where he and Santana were meeting with investigators.

Rudy Farias, was reported missing in 2015 and was supposedly found last week. But his neighbors say he was never missing at all

Rudy took to Quanell, who was present in the meeting as a mediator between the family and police, and asked to speak to him in private.

‘So if he’s been missing for eight years, how the hell did he get that credit card in his pocket?’ Quanell said. 

After being separated from his mom, Rudy reportedly said his mother said that she would make him sleep in the bed with her and ‘make him play daddy’ before he ran away.

‘I was tired of living like a slave,’ the young man said when asked why he ran away, according to Quanell.

It’s unclear when Rudy ran away before turning up outside the church on June 28, but Quanell said he had his mother’s credit card which was issued two years ago when he was found last week.

‘This is sick,’ Quanell said. ‘Based on what that boy told me, I don’t see why she’s not in handcuffs right now.’

‘He was petrified but the minute he was by himself he calmed down,’ the activist added. ‘I believe she was drugging the hell out of this kid.’

Quanell claimed Santana kept the boy hidden for years and convinced him he had to hide because police were looking for him to put him in jail.

‘He said he didn’t like getting in the bed with her, that he would try to sneak out of the bed but she told him he had to be her husband,’ the community leader claimed.

The boy allegedly claimed his mom also made him bathe her.  

Rudy was found unresponsive on June 29 after a good Samaritan called police to report an unresponsive man slumped outside a church.

Cops said they managed to identify Rudy by the necklace he was wearing, which belonged to his late brother, and called his mother Santana to tell her they had found her son after eight long years.

Staff from a restaurant near the church where Rudy was found expressed ‘concern’ about a, ‘incoherent’ man seen at the business hours before Rudy was found

A missing person note detailed what he was wearing at the time that he went missing. It also mentioned that he suffered from depression, PTSD and anxiety

Santana claimed he had blood in his hair and had been clearly badly abused and beaten.

She shared details of Rudy’s condition after the alleged reunion.

‘Rudy is in pretty bad shape, he has cuts, soft tissue tumors, small openings and swelling on the soles of his feet, along with bruising, old and new cuts/scrapes on his body, old dry blood on his head and hair, he has very very dark complexion now almost unrecognizable.

God only knows what he has endured during his time away from home.’

The note also mentioned that he is in a lot of pain.

It continues: ‘He flinches if you try to touch him or hug him thinking we are going to strike him.

‘He thinks his name is Julio Torres and he is 14 now.’

Farias’s mother said they have tried to speak to him, but he only says a few words and adopts the fetal position.

But a video showing a disheveled young man at a restaurant near the church were Rudy was found has sparked questions, as have neighbors who day Rudy was never missing.

Kisha Ross, who lives on the same street as Rudy’s mother, said she had never heard that Rudy was missing, despite being friendly with his family.

‘He used to come in my garage, chill with my cousin, son, and daughter,’ a confused Ross told ABC 7, adding that Rudy liked to hang out in the woods by himself.

Broderick Conley, Ross’s cousin, also said he used to hang out with Rudy regularly – ‘laughing’ and having ‘good times.’

Making the case even stranger, Houston authorities have said a ‘family member’ had called police in 2018 to report that Farias had been staying behind their residence. Officers responded to the scene at the time but did not find Farias. 

As questions emerged about Rudy’s whereabouts over the last eight years, his mother deleted a GoFundMe account she had created for medical costs.
