Investigators say three men from Brooklyn kidnapped the 18-year-old in Delaware on March 17.
Then, they allegedly drove him to a basement in Queens where they tied him up, stabbed him, burned him with cigarettes, and held a gasoline-soaked rag against his eyes.
Dennis Reyes Mora, 37, Alexander Cruz, 26, and Cindy Aleman Fernandez, 27, all of Brownsville, Brooklyn, are each charged by complaint with one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping. "During the drive, the kidnappers bound the victim with tape and stabbed the victim multiple times. Once they reached the house in Queens, the kidnappers covered the victim's eyes and bound the victim's wrists and ankles with tape. While holding the victim captive, the kidnappers tortured the victim, including by running a knife on the victim's neck, holding a gasoline-soaked rag against the victim's eyes, burning the victim with cigarettes, and beating the victim.
The charge of conspiracy to commit kidnapping carries a maximum potential penalty of life in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
