Two people accused of holding an 18-year-old captive appeared in court on Tuesday. FOX 26 Reporter Damali Keith has more.According to investigators that 18-year-old girl was terrorized and sexually assaulted in the house until she escaped on Sunday.We learned in court on Tuesday the man and woman arrested and charged with holding her captive, Jose Reyes and Jaqueline Macias, are husband and wife with a newborn baby that was just delivered prematurely two weeks ago.
"My client and the co-defendant, which is his wife, they have a two-week-old kid which is currently in NICU due to the child being born early," explains Reyes’ Attorney Wilvin Carter. So Macias was giving birth just two weeks ago? The 18-year-old girl says she’s been captive in the Humble home, being terrorized, raped and restrained for the last 30 days after she says she was lured there by Reyes.
"At this time, I can’t give more information because of attorney/client privilege, but it was not a stranger on stranger type relationship. Those two knew one another quite well," Carter says.Precinct 4 Constables said a chain and several pad locks were found in a bedroom in the house. "Because my client has no prior criminal record of course, she’s presumed innocent, and she will probably post bond and go home," Burgos adds. "Because of the allegations that my client was the one that had the relationship with the complainant. There were also some allegations that he may have engaged in some type of sexual contact with the complainant while she was allegedly in custody within his home," explains Carter.
