An upstate mom and dad were charged Wednesday with binding their daughter with duct tape and forcing her into the back of their car on the Lower East Side.
Menachem and Rachel Cohen, of Monticello, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to second-degree assault, coercion, unlawful imprisonment and other charges.
They were arrested on Feb. 25, 2018, after witnesses reported to police that they saw Rachel struggling in the car with the 19-year-old, who was not identified in court papers.
She was duct taped around her wrists, ankles and mouth, the papers said.
