Four people have been convicted on the charges of stemming from the kidnapping and torture of two New York college students and have been sentenced to prison.

Two men and two women had also been convicted last month of kidnapping two male, students of the University of Rochester in December 2015.

The victims, both from the Chicago area, had been reported missing on December 5, 2015, hours after they were last seen near the university's campus. The incident ended the next day, when police had determined that they were being held in a house four miles away and sent in a SWAT team to rescue them.

Prosecutors said that the victims, who had been beaten, and were assaulted sexually and held against their will inside a Rochester house for 40 hours are targeted, mistakenly for retribution of a drug-related robbery. One of them had been shot.
