A 15-year-old girl who has been missing for a year has been found nearly 500 miles from home — with a 32-year-old man now charged with allegedly kidnapping and raping her, police said.

The unidentified teenager was listed as a runaway when she vanished from her home in Reading, Pennsylvania, last June, WRAL reported.

She was found Monday after a tip that she was in High Point, North Carolina, at the home of 32-year-old Joseph A. Rossomando, according to police.

Rossomando was found with child sexual abuse material after cops searched his home and seized his electronic devices, cops said.

Rossomando was charged with seven counts of statutory sex offense with a child less than 15 and seven counts of statutory rape of a child less than 15.

He was also hit with felony charges for trafficking a child victim, sexual servitude of a child victim, sexual exploitation of a minor, statutory rape and first-degree kidnapping.
