Sex parties and X-rated pranks -- not exactly kidnapping and torture, but new bombshell videos and photos reveal that kind of wild, bacchanalian atmosphere during the bizarre crypto kidnapping case that's landed John Woeltz and William Duplessie in jail.

00:00To the crypto torture case in New York City, where police have said, we have told you that

00:06police have said William Du Plessis and John Waltz were holding Italian businessman and

00:11former friend of theirs, Michael Carturin, holding him against his will for nearly three weeks in

00:18their Soho townhouse. We already showed you this video of Carturin tied to a wheelchair and

00:27cooking crack, apparently, in an air fryer. Right. If you thought it was weird, Charles,

00:32it's going to get weirder. That seemed weird, especially considering you see his hands are

00:35free and that called into question how captive was he? Right. They're listening to music. There

00:41seems to be laughing in the room. Yeah. Well, now we have some more images, which information that

00:47we've been told and also metadata show these images, and that's Carturin with the leash and

00:55collar around his neck. This is him in a in a bedroom, was engaged with several women while

01:02he was there. And we know from these images that we've seen had sex with at least one of

01:09them. And this all happened about six or seven days into the alleged captivity. Yeah, I think

01:17that's the key here, because, look, when we see these photos and videos, we were told and

01:22actually you can see physically that he's smiling, he's laughing, he's having intercourse with women,

01:27and it doesn't seem like he's scared or, you know, in the videos, he's not saying, like, help me,

01:33help me. Like, there's no signs of distress, signs of distress. Definitely not. But not but not to say

01:38that things didn't get weird. Right. Because these videos and photos that we have are around May 11th,

01:45May 12th. And he police say he was abducted and tortured between May 6 to May 23rd. We know that

01:53these guys lured Michael to their home. That's what police say. Yes, police say that. And, you know,

02:00in these photos and videos, it seems like it's like a frat house. Like at one point in the background,

02:04simple favor is playing. I mean, look, you could say that's maybe part of the torture. But they're

02:09like having a good time. Okay. Didn't need the movie review, but right. But like, he seems like

02:15he's having a good time. But, you know, he was very much in distress when he ran out of that town

02:21home at the end. Certainly seemed like it. Yeah. Yeah. And and was desperately trying to get help.

02:26I think you asked the question, by the way, that video of him sleeping on the couch. On the couch,

02:30seemingly not people. Right. Not strained. Look, I think this could have started as something

02:36different and possibly turned into a situation where, yes, he was getting tortured, Charles,

02:39or he was in distress and they were not letting him leave. And you do what you've got to do to

02:44get through it and make it out alive. Yeah. Right. It just it is a much different picture.

02:50These images are painting than from what we originally heard when this case. Nobody imagined that.

02:55This video, by the way, this is just interesting, especially after the air fryer video. I just want to

03:01play a little bit of this of what his conversation was. And this is cartoon that you're

03:06seeing here talking about a recipe for crack. Absolutely. How much did we put per parts

03:14baking soda? That's a good question for. How much? I mean, I say two to one just off the top of my head.

03:26Just off the top. Top might happen. And here's the rest. But again, he's standing there talking very

03:32calmly to them, not restrained. Again, we can't see what's on the other side of the camera here.

03:38We don't know if someone is threatening him in some way. Right. A weapon point. You have no idea.

03:42But he does not seem distressed. And again, we have reached out to prosecutors. They didn't want to

03:49comment. We reached out to DuPlessis and Waltz's attorneys. Nothing from them. Carterin is the guy we

03:57would love to talk to. Nobody knows where he is. We've been trying to contact him or an attorney.

04:02But it is a really bizarre picture of what was going on in that townhouse.

04:07Juliana from Boca Raton. I think this story is all disgusting. And I think with this release of

04:14those videos and photos, it looks like it was consensual. I don't know. I think the defense is

04:21going to try to use this. I think they invited the Italian guy to New York for a party until all the

04:28kidnap stuff started and got out of control. Clearly out of control. Yes. Hard to say if he's

04:35under direct. I mean, it looks out of control just from what we've seen. Yes. But where it gets to a

04:40violent moment, if it did, that remains to be seen. So we will stay on top of that one.

04:51Bye.
