Duo charged after kidnapping women and teenagers, two rapes in Pennsylvania

Two men are under arrest after allegedly forcing four women into a vehicle in Pennsylvania, holding them captive in shipping containers and raping two of them.

Pennsylvania State Police arrested Davaun Carlon Jackson, 29, and Isaiah Rogers-Keeney, 19, after they drove to a Walmart with two of the victims.

It all started with a shooting that the four women witnessed in Wilkes Barre on Monday, the Pennsylvania State Police told WFMZ-TV. In order to silence them, Jackson and Rogers-Keeney kidnapped them and drove them to Jackson’s property in Smithfield Township. There they tied up three of them and locked them in the shipping container, raping two of them, authorities said. They were also threatened with death and dismemberment, WNEP-TV reported, and attacked with numerous weapons.

“There was a chase, kidnappings, solitary confinement, death threats, chaos and sexual assault,” Monroe County District Attorney Michael Mancuso told WFMZ. “There was a minor there. The minor was 17 years old. The others were, I believe, between 18 and 21.”

On Tuesday, the men took her to another Jackson property, where one of them returned her phone, WFMZ reported. She was able to call her mother, who alerted police.

Jackson and Rogers-Keeney were arraigned in court Wednesday morning and were denied bail, WNEP reported.

Jackson is accused of kidnapping, rape, sexual abuse, terroristic threats, tampering with evidence, strangulation, false imprisonment and robbery, among other charges, according to the Pocono Record. Rogers-Keeney faces similar charges as an accomplice.
