American man gets 50 years for 'horrific' sex abuse, kidnapping Edmonton teen

BY The Canadian Press, Apr 9, 2025 4:40 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The decision against Noah Madrano was meted in Portland, Ore., almost three years after the teen was located and Madrano was arrested by FBI agents at a hotel in the U.S. state.

An American man who abducted an Edmonton teen, took her over the U.S. border and subjected her to ``horrific sexual abuse'' has been given a 50-year prison sentence by a U.S. judge.

The decision against Noah Madrano was meted in Portland, Ore., almost three years after the teen was located and Madrano was arrested by FBI agents at a hotel in the U.S. state.

Earlier this year, the 43-year-old pleaded guilty to sexual abuse and kidnapping charges. The manhunt began in the summer of 2022 after the girl, then 13, failed to show up for class at her junior high school in Edmonton.

Court heard she was smuggled across the border in the trunk of Madrano's vehicle. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mira Chernick had sought life imprisonment for Madrano, who she says subjected the Canadian teen to a week of ``horrific sexual abuse.''
