LEONIA, N.J. - Two men are set to spend 40 years behind bars for their involvement in the kidnapping of a Philadelphia teen in 2021.
United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced the sentence for 39-year-old Eduardo Castelan-Prado of Leonia, New Jersey and 32-year-old Jose Ochoa of Moreno Valley, California.
The duo was sentenced to 40 years in prison with an additional five years of supervised release after being convicted on kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping charges in June.
Authorities say the pair and a third co-conspirator kidnapped a 17-year-old from the parking lot of a Philadelphia restaurant where he worked on June 14, 2021.
