<p>[New Tang Dynasty News, Beijing Time 2024-07-30] After the Chinese girl missing in Monterey Park was found, the case escalated further. The girl's father, Jeffery Chao, was arrested by the police on charges including suspected child kidnapping. Here is the report from our reporter earlier outside the courthouse.</p>
<p>Reporter Zhang Boyuan: “Jeffery Chao, the father of 15-year-old Chinese girl Alison Chao, was arrested by the police on Friday and was scheduled to appear in Alhambra court on Monday (July 29), but the hearing was postponed according to confirmation from his attorney.”</p>
<p>Jeffery Chao's attorney, Jose Romero: “If the case is prosecuted as a felony, a preliminary hearing will be held tomorrow at the Criminal Court building in downtown Los Angeles. If prosecuted as a misdemeanor, it will be heard tomorrow at the Alhambra court. It should be emphasized that there are currently no pending charges. The case is still under review.”</p>
<p>He indicated that Jeffery is currently temporarily placed in the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Jeffery's mother, Alice Wang: “We don’t know the current situation because we have never experienced anything like this.”</p>
<p>Jeffery's sister, Jenny Chao: “Jeffery is an outstanding citizen. He fought for America. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has always been a good person, so this is really unfortunate.”</p>
<p>Our station sought a comment from Alison's mother on Monday morning but had not received a clear response by the time of publication. However, according to the statement she issued last Friday (26th), she said, “I believe Jeff has been guiding Alison to make false accusations against me, and he continues to obstruct and undermine my relationship with Alison. Before we separated, Alison and I had a close and loving relationship.”</p>
<p>On the same day, around forty members of the public rallied outside the courthouse to support Alison, calling for society to provide her with a platform to speak.</p>
<p>Rally attendee Jesse Rodriguez: “I came here to support (Alison) and hope someone can listen to her voice.”</p>
<p>Rally attendee Daniel Mechuca: “We hope everything can be resolved satisfactorily and that she can receive justice.”</p>
<p>Currently, it remains unclear where Alison has been placed and her whereabouts during the time she was missing.</p>
