2 men kidnapped, sexually assaulted, “women” held captive in a shipping container in Monroe Co. – NBC10 Philadelphia

Pennsylvania State Police on Tuesday rescued four victims, described only as “female,” who had been kidnapped and held in a shipping container while some of them were sexually assaulted. The victims were located in Smithfield Township in Monroe County, officials said.

According to law enforcement officials, state police officers arrested two men – 19-year-old Isaiah Rogers-Keeney of Middletown and 29-year-old Davaun Carlon Jackson of East Stroudsburg – after learning that the two had allegedly kidnapped four female victims.

According to police, the two were arrested after being found at a Walmart Supercenter in Mount Pocono, Monroe County, around 10:44 a.m. Tuesday.

Police officials said officers were alerted after being told Rogers-Keeney and Jackson were in a Ford SUV on PA 33 with two victims.

Police officials said both men were arrested when officers spotted the vehicle in the parking lot of a Walmart Supercenter in Mount Pocono, where they encountered Rogers-Kenney and a victim. Officers also observed Jackson leaving the Walmart store with a second victim, police said.

Investigators believe the men took the four female victims to a property owned by Jackson in Smithfield Township on Monday.

At this location, police allege, the men placed the four female victims in a shipping container, where three of the victims were tied up with rope and restrained.

Officials said Jackson then threatened to kill all of the female victims because he had “multiple weapons in his hand.”

After this threat, police said, Jackson sexually abused two of the female victims.

The police have not yet provided any further information on this case. There is also no further information about the victims themselves, their involvement in the incident or the whereabouts of the other two victims at the time the men were arrested.

However, both Jackson and Rogers-Keeney were charged with kidnapping, including the kidnapping of minors, as well as sexual assault, strangulation, false imprisonment and similar offenses.

NBC10 has reached out to Pennsylvania State Police and Monroe County law enforcement for more information.
