A Hartsdale couple has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the kidnapping and assault of a 19-year-old woman in a case that began in The Bronx and ended in Hartsdale.

Authorities say 42-year-old Wayne Barnes, who owns a tattoo shop in The Bronx, offered the 19-year-old employee a ride home to Queens last year. The two were reportedly involved in a romantic relationship.

Instead, authorities say Barnes drove her to his Hartsdale home, where she was attacked by Barnes, his wife, Jasmine Barnes, and the couple's nanny, Lizbeth Cerrato-Sanchez.

The Westchester County District Attorney's Office says Wayne and Jasmine Barnes pleaded guilty last month to third-degree assault.

Both were promised sentences of three years of probation with domestic violence conditions. Permanent orders of protection will also be issued for the victim.

Cerrato-Sanchez entered an interim plea in June to misdemeanor assault and harassment. She is required to complete 50 hours of community service as a condition of the plea.
