New York authorities outlined an astonishing story of kidnap, torture and sexual assault in the killing of Sam Nordquist, a transgender man from Minnesota who was allegedly imprisoned in a small room of an upstate motel for a month before he died.

Seven people accused of killing a 24-year-old man in upstate New York subjected him to weeks of torture that included sexual assault, forcing him to eat feces and pouring bleach on him, prosecutors said Wednesday.

On Wednesday, New York authorities announced indictments against seven people in connection with the death of Sam Nordquist. The indictment alleges that the seven defendants tortured Nordquist to death in an upstate New York motel.
