Authorities say a suspect is in custody for the alleged abduction and sexual assault of a 4-year-old girl who was taken from a Christmas eve party and found beaten and naked in a nearby field.

Fresno County Sheriff's Lt. Joseph Blohm said the child was sleeping in a car at the outdoor family gathering near Raisin City, a farming community about 12 miles southwest of Fresno, when relatives discovered her missing from the vehicle. They located her in the field walking distance away and notified the sheriff's department about 1:30 a.m. Thursday.

The girl remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Blohm says the person in custody was attending the party and is either a relative or friend of the child's family.

He did not disclose the suspect's name.
