SEGUIN, Texas - A Texas dad who is suspected of kidnapping his 10-year-old daughter and has been in hiding for weeks met up with a reporter and doubled down on his claims that the girl was being abused in her mother’s care.Michael Long, 42, told the Daily Mail Tuesday that he was willing to go to jail to "protect" the daughter he’s been accused of taking."I’d absolutely go to jail to protect Sophie," he told the outlet. "I’d do anything for her."A day later, Texas authorities issued a warrant following his alleged failure to show up in court.The Daily Mail reported that Sophie appeared "happy and at ease with her father."And he said it wasn’t about the ongoing custody battle, but about protecting the child and getting a jury trial for.
