Four people are facing charges after a 16-year-old girl was held against her will in an Auburn cellar, confined to a chair by duct tape, burned with a lit cigarette and had her hair shaved off, police say.



The girl was previously drugged and raped, police wrote in a statement of facts filed in Worcester Central District Court.



Auburn police say that Krystal Lugo, Christopher Lugo, Yariel Torres-Abee and Yuleny Ortiz were at 10 White Terrace in Auburn on Wednesday. Christopher Lugo lives at the address, police wrote.



Also inside the home was the transient 16-year-old, who police say was victimized by the defendants both before and after a home invasion at the residence on Wednesday.

Krystal Lugo and her 2-year-old child were in an upstairs bedroom during the early morning hours Wednesday when two armed men forced their way into the residence and confronted Christopher Lugo, police wrote.

Three rounds were fired in the house. According to police, the purpose of the home invasion was to steal marijuana the gunmen believed was at the address.

The suspects fled without any property.

That's when the four started to believe that the 16-year-old set up the home invasion, police wrote.

Krystal Lugo was upset that her life and her child's life were put in danger and tried to make the juvenile name the suspects, police wrote.

"The victim was said to have been confined to a chair via duct tape in the cellar of the home," police wrote. "The victim stated that [Krystal Lugo] took her cell phone against her will, kicked and punched her and was involved in confining her while the victim was burned in the collar bone area of her body with a lit cigarette by a female known as 'Katie.'"

Used and unused duct tape was found in the cellar, some of which was still on a post behind the chair, police wrote.

Police said the juvenile told them that a machete was held against her neck and that Krystal Lugo told the person holding the machete to press it against the victim's neck harder if she lied.

It is not clear who was holding the machete, police wrote.

The victim's head was also shaved against her will, police wrote. A bag with what appeared to be hair inside was found in the cellar.

Multiple discarded condoms were also found in the cellar, police wrote. The victim told police that on Christmas she was given a "Xanax laced 'blunt' for the purpose of incapacitating her in order for the defendant to engage in sexual act(s) with her."

Police said Christopher Lugo told the victim that on Wednesday.

Krystal Lugo, 23, of Webster, is charged with kidnapping, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery and larceny under $250; Christopher Lugo, 19, is charged with kidnapping, rape and drug to confine; Torres-Abee, 22, of Southbridge, is charged with kidnapping and assault and battery; Ortiz, 19, of Auburn, is charged with kidnapping.

The four were held without bail at their arraignments on Thursday. They are scheduled to appear in court again on Tuesday for dangerousness hearings.

Other people were present at the address as well, police wrote, but their identities are not yet known.
