‘I WASN’T mom’s sex slave’: Rudy Farias denies mom molested him during eight year sham disappearance but says he ‘lived in prison’ where he was ‘brainwashed and manipulated’
- Rudy Farias has spoken out for the first time since he mysteriously reappeared earlier this month
- The Texan was missing for eight years before he was found in a bruised and bloodied state inside a church
- Farias has accused his mother of keeping him captive the whole time, recently saying he felt like he ‘lived in a prison’
Rudy Farias has spoken out for the first time to deny that he was ever sexually abused by his mother, but insisted he was ‘brainwashed and manipulated’ during his imprisonment.
The Texan had been missing for eight years before he mysteriously reappeared this month, amid allegations his mom Janie Santana kept him in captivity.
Speaking to Fox26Houston, Farias said his ordeal felt like he had ‘lived in a prison’, adding ‘I just wanted to be free. I just wanted to live my life.’
He added that he was not molested by Santana, who has not been charged.
‘She didn’t force herself on me or anything like that,’ he said. ‘It would never be anything like that. Just stuff that really made me uncomfortable’.

Farias’ time in alleged imprisonment began in March 2015, when Farias’ mother reported him missing to Houston police.
But while authorities searched for him for almost a decade, Farias has now given an insight into his life in captivity.
He claimed his mother wouldn’t physically restrain him, but instead deceived and abused him into not wanting to leave.
‘She would manipulate me into saying I would get arrested for speeding ticket,’ he said. ‘It just felt like brainwashing, honestly.’
He added that he remained under her shadow for so long because of the manipulation, which he now described as like ‘Stockholm Syndrome’.
When he finally emerged, Farias’ mother declared it was a ‘miracle’.
However, the now-25-year-old claims she was dominating his every move for eight years, and was able to keep his existence a secret by making him hide around friends and family.

Farias revealed during his bombshell interview that his mother allegedly told him things he wouldn’t be able to verify, forcing him into a position of trust.
However, despite making a slew of disturbing allegations against her, Farias insisted that he was never sexually abused by his mother.
‘She didn’t force herself on me or anything like that,’ he said. ‘It would never be anything like that. Just stuff that really made me uncomfortable’.
Houston police have so far refrained from charging Farias’ mother with any crimes, but he now says he is just happy to be free.
‘It feels like, I’m just at peace now. Just feels happy, you know?’ he said.
Rudy Farias was seen hiding his face under a blanket as he was escorted out of a Houston hotel shortly after his re-emergence
News of Farias being found alive was met with glee in his home state earlier this month, with his mother claiming her ‘nonverbal’ son was only alive due to a miracle.
But the story quickly took a dark turn, when Farias began making a series of bizarre and dark allegations about his mother.
Among the claims were that she would make him ‘play daddy’ while naked in bed, treat him like a slave, and give him hallucinogenic drugs.
His mother had reported him missing in 2015, when he was 17, but adding to the confusion neighbors said he was never missing, and regularly saw him.
At the time of Farias’ disappearance, his mother told officials that he suffered from depression and PTSD since his brother died in a motorcycle accident in 2011, an incident neighbors say he spoke about.
Farias’ father, Houston police officer Rudolph Farias III, died by suicide in 2014. He was a 21-year veteran and was facing an internal affairs investigation at the time of his death.
In the days after he was found, Farias was seen hiding his face under a blanket as he was escorted out of a Houston hotel by counselor Quanell X, who became emotional as he described his conversation with the young man.
