Manhattan Escorts: Men charged with beating, torturing 2 sisters in Colonie motel room
COLONIE — Authorities say two brothers have been charged with beating and torturing two Vermont sisters in a Colonie motel room over a dispute involving the men’s escort service.
Officials say Friday the sisters from Pawlet, Vt. traveled to New York City in February after seeing an Internet advertisement for jobs in the entertainment business. Police say once there, the sisters realized the jobs were for illegal escort services and left the city.
Police say 31-year-old Colby Sylvain of Bayonne, N.J. and 29-year-old Herby Sylvain of Brooklyn tracked the sisters to an upstate motel, where they beat, tortured and robbed the women.
The brothers were arraigned Monday on charges including assault and unlawful imprisonment and grand larceny. They were sent to jail.
