华盛顿特区女子以假保姆工作诱骗绑架两名女子被判102个月监禁
位于美国首都华盛顿的联邦地区法院判处华盛顿特区居民 Cierra Charity Lee（21岁）102个月联邦监禁。她以雇人做保姆为名，把两名女子诱骗到一处住所实施绑架与持械抢劫，目的是阻止其中一人就一宗强奸案出庭作证。
据美国司法部华盛顿特区联邦检察官办公室公布，Lee 已于2026年4月30日就绑架与持械抢劫认罪。法官 Christopher R. Cooper 除判处102个月监禁外，还判处她在刑满后接受5年监管释放；检方此前曾请求判处168个月。同案被告 Robynn Danielle Bynum（19岁）与 Kayvon Edwards（22岁）此前已就相同罪名认罪，Bynum 定于2027年1月21日宣判，Edwards 的宣判日期尚未排定。
法院文件显示，2025年10月20日晚，两名受害人按 Lee 提出的保姆工作邀约，来到 Suitland Parkway 与 Stanton Road SE 附近的一处住所。进入地下室后，Bynum 从后屋冲出、多次刺伤第一名受害人，并划伤上前干预的第二名受害人；Lee 协助捆绑两名受害人的双手，抢走她们的手机、车钥匙及其他财物。
两名受害人被捆绑在浴室期间，Lee 就一宗针对其男友 Edwards 的待审强奸案盘问第一名受害人。调查人员通过一系列受监控的监狱通话确认，当时被关押在 Prince George's County 的 Edwards 遥控策划了这次绑架袭击，意图阻止第一名受害人作证；Lee 在通话中向他保证受害人会撤诉、不出庭。联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 表示，这是一场蓄意设下的伏击，目的是让一名强奸案受害人噤声、掩盖真相，恐吓永远压不过问责。
Lee 与 Bynum 随后把两名受害人塞进第一名受害人的汽车，蒙住她们的眼睛，打算将她们弃置在宾夕法尼亚州以阻止其出庭；途中车辆撞上异物爆胎，两人弃车逃走，受害人自行脱困求助。第一名受害人因背部多处刺伤接受创伤级救治，第二名受害人手腕与手肘被划伤。2025年11月5日，警方逮捕全部三名被告，并在 Lee 的手机中查到她在案发前后多次搜索绑架量刑等内容的记录。
本案由联邦调查局（FBI）华盛顿外勤办公室与华盛顿大都会警察局调查，联邦助理检察官 Joshua Satter 负责起诉。

D.C. Woman Sentenced to 102 Months for Kidnapping Two Women Lured by Fake Babysitting Job
A federal court in Washington, D.C., has sentenced Cierra Charity Lee, 21, of the District of Columbia, to 102 months in federal prison for luring two women to a residence with the promise of a babysitting job and taking part in their kidnapping and armed robbery, in an attempt to keep one of them from testifying in a rape case.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, Lee pleaded guilty on April 30, 2026, to kidnapping and armed robbery. Judge Christopher R. Cooper also ordered her to serve five years of supervised release after the prison term; prosecutors had sought a 168-month sentence. Her co-defendants, Robynn Danielle Bynum, 19, and Kayvon Edwards, 22, previously pleaded guilty to the same charges. Bynum is scheduled to be sentenced on January 21, 2027, and sentencing for Edwards is pending.
According to court documents, on the night of October 20, 2025, the two victims arrived at a residence near Suitland Parkway and Stanton Road SE after Lee offered to hire them for a babysitting job. In the basement, Bynum stabbed the first victim repeatedly in the back and injured the second victim as she tried to intervene, while Lee helped restrain both women, binding their hands and taking their phones, car keys and other property.
While the victims remained bound in a bathroom, Lee questioned the first victim about a pending rape case against her boyfriend, Edwards. Through monitored jail calls, investigators determined that Edwards, then incarcerated in Prince George's County, had orchestrated the attack to prevent the victim from testifying, and that Lee had assured him the victim would drop the charges and not appear in court. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro said the attack was a calculated ambush engineered to silence a rape victim and bury the truth, and that intimidation will never triumph over accountability.
Lee and Bynum then forced the victims into the first victim's car, taped their eyes and tried to drive them out of the District to abandon them in Pennsylvania. After the car struck something and a tire went flat, the two fled, leaving the victims bound and injured; the victims freed themselves and sought help. The first victim was treated for multiple stab wounds requiring trauma-level care, and the second for lacerations to her wrist and elbow. Police arrested all three defendants on November 5, 2025, and found searches about kidnapping penalties in Lee's phone history from before and after the attack.
The case was investigated by the FBI's Washington Field Office and the Metropolitan Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Satter.
