威廉·杜普莱西（William Duplessie）和约翰·沃尔茨（John Woeltz）对绑架，袭击不认罪

检察官辩称，这名男子显然处于困境状态，因为他赤脚跑了，在被囚禁的17天逃脱后流向最近的警察。

Two men accused of holding a cryptocurrency executive captive in a SoHo townhouse for 17 days last month were ordered held in custody Thursday despite defense attorneys’ claims that the accuser was engaging in consensual acts and could have left at any time.

两名被指控在上个月在SOHO联排别墅中绑架17天的加密货币执行官俘虏的男子周四被拘留，尽管辩护律师声称原告正在进行共识的行为，并可能随时离开。

William Duplessie, 32, and John Woeltz, 37, pleaded not guilty and were ordered to return to court July 15. They are charged with kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment and criminal possession of a weapon and face up to life in prison if convicted.

32岁的威廉·杜普莱西（William Duplese）和37岁的约翰·沃尔茨（John Woeltz）不认罪，并被命令于7月15日返回法院。他们被指控绑架，殴打，非法监禁和刑事拥有武器，如果被定罪，则犯有武器的罪名。

Prosecutors said the two men, who have known the 28-year-old Italian national for years, lured him to the townhouse by threatening to kill his family.

检察官说，这两个人多年来认识了28岁的意大利国民，他们威胁要杀死他的家人，将他引诱到联排别墅。

The man said the two investors tortured him with electrical wires, forced him to smoke from a crack pipe and at one point dangled him from a staircase five stories high. He eventually managed to flee as his captors went to retrieve his computer password.

该男子说，两名投资者用电线折磨了他，迫使他从裂缝管中抽烟，并在某一时刻将他从楼梯五个楼梯上悬挂。当绑架者去取回计算机密码时，他最终设法逃离了。

In other photos, Talkin said, the accuser is seen visiting an eyeglass store with one of the defendants and could have fled or sought help at any time.

Talkin说，在其他照片中，被指控者与其中一名被告一起访问了一家眼镜商店，并且可以随时逃离或寻求帮助。

“The story that he is selling doesn’t make sense,” Talkin said in Manhattan criminal court as the defendants were formally arraigned.

“他要出售的故事没有意义，”泰恩在曼哈顿刑事法院说，被告正式被宣告。

Woeltz’s lawyer, Wayne Gosnell, added that witnesses told him the accuser came and went as he pleased from the upscale townhouse — going to church, clubs and dinners.

沃尔茨的律师韦恩·戈斯内尔（Wayne Gosnell）补充说，目击者告诉他，原告来来往往，他从高档的联排别墅中欣赏到教堂，俱乐部和晚餐。

Police searching the townhouse found evidence corroborating his story, including a loaded pistol, chain saw and other instruments purportedly used to torture him. They also located photographs, including one where the defendants point a gun to the accuser’s head, another where the accuser is tied to a wheelchair, and still another showing the accuser being set on fire.

搜查联排别墅的警察发现证据证实了他的故事，其中包括据称用来折磨他的手枪，链锯和其他乐器。他们还找到了照片，其中包括被告将枪指向原告的头部，另一枪将原告绑在轮椅上，还有另一张显示原告被烧毁的人。

When prodded by the judge, Khan explained that the man didn’t actually sustain any burn injuries because the defendants would quickly douse the flames, sometimes by urinating on him.

当法官扮演法官时，可汗解释说，该男子实际上并没有承受任何烧伤伤害，因为被告会迅速扑灭火焰，有时是通过小便。

What’s more, she said, prosecutors believe this is not the first time the defendants have held a person against their will. They are aware of two other potential victims in two other locations, according to Khan.

她说，更重要的是，检察官认为这不是被告第一次违背自己的意愿举行一个人。可汗说，他们知道另外两个地点还有另外两个潜在的受害者。

Lawyers for the two men, meanwhile, sought their release on $1 million bail and home confinement with their parents. They rejected suggestions from prosecutors that their clients could flee the country.

同时，这两名男子的律师要求释放100万美元的保释和与父母的家庭禁令。他们拒绝了检察官的建议，即他们的客户可以逃离该国。

“He’s so far from a flight risk here. He’s ready to fight this case. He’s not going to anywhere,” Talkin said of Duplessie.

“他离这里有飞机风险这么远。他准备对抗此案。他不会去任何地方。”

The two appeared handcuffed in prison uniforms and didn’t speak in court other than to formally enter their pleas.

两人似乎穿着监狱服上手铐，除了正式进入他们的请求外，没有在法庭上发表讲话。
