A married couple faced a Massachusetts judge Thursday in connection to the kidnapping and rape of a 13-year-old girl in Lawrence.
The Essex County District Attorney's Office confirms 27-year-old Jose Sanchez and 24-year-old Alina Santos were arraigned in Lawrence District Court.
Sanchez is charged with kidnapping and rape of a child, while Santos faces charges of kidnapping, enticement of a child and threats.
Both suspects were ordered to be held without bail pending the outcome of a dangerousness hearing.
They are due back in court May 25. It was not immediately clear if they had attorneys.
