Who is Jaret Wright? Ohio man, 20, forced teen he met on Instagram into sex, lived under her bed for 3 weeks
A man in Ohio was taken into custody after he reportedly forced a teenage girl to have sex with him and took nude photos of her while living under her bed for three weeks. 20-year-old Jaret Wright, from Akron, Ohio, was arrested Thursday after being accused of sexually assaulting the victim from College Hills, Cincinnati, who is said to be aged between 13 and 18 years, the Associated Press reported.
According to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office, Wright met the victim -- who cannot be named for legal reasons -- on Instagram. He subsequently spent three weeks living underneath the victim's bed. She knew Wright was living under her bed, but her mother was not aware of the same, police said.

Court documents claim Wright allegedly forced the girl to have sex with him. Authorities are yet to disclose the teenager's age or whether she invited Wright to stay with him in her room, or if they were in a relationship. Meanwhile, it is also unclear if Wright was in and out of the home during the time he was living under the girl's bed. The mother eventually learned Wright was in the residence, although police did not reveal how she found out about it.
The 20-year-old is now charged with three counts of sexual assault and a single count of producing child pornography. He is currently remanded in custody at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $50,000 bond and is set to appear in court on Tuesday.
Last week, MEAWW reported how an army veteran was sentenced to 14 years in prison for molesting a 12-year-old girl and having sex with a dog. Philip Samuel Mercon, who suffered from PTSD, was sentenced on Thursday, March 18, after he pleaded guilty to three counts of indecency with a child by contact and one count of bestiality in a plea agreement with the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office.
His plea deal was approved by Judge Susan Kelly of 54th State District Court, who then gave him three concurrent 14-year prison terms on the indecency counts and two years in a state jail facility on the bestiality charge. All the sentences will reportedly run parallelly with his state prison time.
MEAWW also reported on the March 16 arrest of a former soldier accused of slavery charges for the alleged psychological, physical, and sexual abuse of a woman in Sydney between 2012 and 2015. James Robert Davis, 40, was charged with three offenses including possessing a slave and causing a person to remain in servitude was arrested in a Bunnings car park at Armidale in northern NSW under modern slavery laws.
Police allege that he subjected the woman to physical, sexual, and psychological abuse and degradation during the three years that he kept her as a slave at Maroubra in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
"[She] was coerced, manipulated, and threatened to be involved in a bondage lifestyle, where there was alleged coercion and control," Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Justine Gough said on Tuesday, March 16. "She was in slave-like conditions, there were aspects of... a slavery contract, and there were aspects of a slave collar and a slave tattoo. She was forced into prostitution with no pay. She was threatened with physical abuse and threats of death if she left that circumstance."
Gough also added that Davis was "known as being the patriarch of the group, the House of Cadifor — which has been described as a cult".
