Noah Madrano sentenced to 50 years for abducting, sexually abusing Edmonton teen

Noah Madrano, a 43-year-old man from Gladstone, Oregon, has been sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for abducting and sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl from Edmonton, Canada. Madrano developed an online relationship with the victim over more than a year, leading to his traveling to Canada, where he abducted her from outside a school and took her to multiple hotel rooms for abuse. He recorded some of the assaults and was arrested in July 2022 after the FBI located them in a hotel. During sentencing, the court highlighted Madrano's lack of remorse and the severe impact of his actions on the victim and her family. His defense attorney argued against the severity of the sentence, claiming it was unwarranted given Madrano's background, but the judge emphasized the danger he posed to the community. The victim has since been reunited with her family and is receiving support following her ordeal.
