Charges Dropped Against Accused Perinton Kidnappers

Charges have been dropped against four men accused of kidnapping a woman and her two children from a state-arranged safe house in Perinton earlier this month.

That's according to an attorney for one of the men.

Omar and Amar Saleh, along with Gamil Achmed and Dajour Paul were accused of planning to send the children to Yemen because of a custody dispute.

The mother and children were found that same night at a home in Rochester.

But the defense claims it was more of a rescue, and Amar Saleh believed his younger brother and sister were illegally taken by Child Protective Services. The attorney said Omar Saleh is the children's legal guardian.

The District Attorney's Office has not commented.
