Twenty-Year-Old Accused of Hiding Minor | Phoenix News

A 20-year-old man in Peoria is behind bars after allegedly kidnapping and sexually exploiting a 16-year-old girl from Montana, hiding her across the Valley while ignoring court orders — all while pretending to be her friend “Kendra.” The teen, who has mental health issues, was flown back to Phoenix without parental consent, fed, clothed, and given a social media-only phone. When she vanished, police found her in his car — and he initially denied knowing her, even as he later confessed she was hiding in his home. Now facing serious charges including custodial interference and sexual conduct with a minor, Blenski remains jailed with a $100K bond, next appearing in court August 25.
