Two men have been convicted of a salacious scheme to kidnap two area children from their mother and smuggle them across the border into Mexico to be a part of a sexual relationship in the region, federal authorities announced.

The goal of the kidnapping was to bring the kidnapped 14-year-old sister to the man she was ceremonially married to within the tiny sect.

“Nachman Helbrans and Mayer Rosner brazenly kidnapped two children from their mother in the middle of the night to return a 14-year-old girl to an illegal sexual relationship with an adult man,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.
