At least nine men were victimized as part the overall scheme, which occurred in December 2017.

At least one defendant"urinated and wiped human feces on" at least one victim, prosecutors allege.

As part of his plea deal, Henry detailed how part of the scheme operated. The robbery, for instance, involved herding victims into a closet or bedroom while other crew members traveled to a nearby ATM and withdrew money from their accounts. Members of the crew then proceeded to aim a handgun at John Doe 4, rob him and sexually assault him with an unidentified object, according to court documents.

A fourth co-defendant, Michael Atkinson, pleaded guilty to related kidnapping and conspiracy charges in March. Atkinson faces a potential term of life in prison when he is sentenced in February. His lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
