SMITHFIELD TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Unsettling new details were released Wednesday evening in a disturbing kidnapping case out of Monroe County that includes a man from the Mistate.
Pennsylvania State Police say two men have been arrested and accused of holding four women captive in these shipping containers.
28-year-old Davaun Jackson of East Stroudsburg is facing several charges including kidnapping and sexual assault. 19-year-old Isaiah Rogers-Keeney of Middletown is being charged as an accomplice. The two men are accused of kidnapping four women on Monday.
“It was a minor miracle no one was killed,” Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso said.
Police say shipping containers are where four victims were bound, raped, and held against their own will.
“Several victims have been extremely traumatized and scarred by this, and it was important to get these defendants off the street,” Mancuso explained.
