A 14-year-old girl in Northern California apparently was able to use her Snapchat app to save herself from a dangerous situation.

On Tuesday morning, the girl — whose name has not been released — met Albert Vasquez, 55, in Capitola, California, when he drugged her and she became “incapacitated,” according to a San Jose Police press release.

Police say Vasquez called his friends Antonio Salvador, 34, and Hediberto Avarenga, 31, for help to load the victim in the vehicle so that Vasquez could sexually assault the minor.

The men drove the victim to the E-Z Motel in San Jose, carried her into a second-floor room where Vasquez sexually assaulted the child for a second time, the release added.
