A man and woman who share a 2-week-old child have been charged with kidnapping after an 18-year-old woman was allegedly chained and zip-tied inside of a house for one month and sexually assaulted Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman stated in a press conference on Monday 7/17/2023
Jose Reyes, 31, and Jaqueline Macias, 29, were arrested in the 6900 block of Foxmont Lane.
In the Kenswick Subdivision off of FM-1960 in Humble.
Deputies initially said the teen met Reyes, who gained her trust, and lured her to his house while Macias was there.
That’s when she was allegedly held captive for approximately 30 days and sexually abused repeatedly. According to court documents, she was chained to a bed and forced to have sex.
When Reyes and Macias left briefly on Sunday night, the 18-year-old found a way to get out of her restraints, climb through a bedroom window and escape.
She knocked on the doors of houses in the neighborhood, until she got the attention of a neighbor who called 911. Deputies and the paramedics were called.
The suspects returned to the house about 10 minutes later and were arrested, Pct. 4 HC Constable Herman said. He called the case an “evil thing.”
“She did everything that she could, all her fibers she could bring to her strength to get out of her restraints,” he said.
Macias’ public defender said in court on Monday that she and Reyes share a 2-week-old child. As a bond condition, the hearing officer removed the no contact order between the two suspects.
Pending medical tests, more charges are possible against the suspects.
Both are expected back in court on Tuesday.
