The Bastrop County Sheriff's Office Thursday arrested and charged two men for holding illegal immigrants against their will.
Nabor Rodriguez-Guillen, 20, and Juan Carlos Sanchez-Camacho, 29, were among three people involved in the crime and have been charged with seven counts of aggravated kidnapping, a first degree felony.
According to Bastrop officials, one of the male hostages Wednesday escaped and notified police the armed captors were holding hostage 20-25 people.
The man told officials some of the female hostages were sexually assaulted by the captors and the hostages were deprived of food and water for three days.
Several agencies planned to convene on the residence, a singlewide mobile home located at 380 FM 672 in the town of Dale.
When Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Bastrop County SWAT located the home, all but six men and the two suspects had been moved from the location.
"We've never had a situation like this before in Bastrop County," Bastrop County Sheriff Terry Pickering said.
According to the sheriff's office, the captors were in contact with family members of the hostages, demanding money for their release.
Six victims were identified at the time of the arrests, and all involved are believed to be from Honduras and/or El Salvador.
A woman, who asked not to be identified, lives just feet from the trailer. She said her family rented the trailer to a man who said he was going to remodel it.
According to the woman, her family had no idea the trailer was full of immigrant hostages.

"I had my daughter here," she said. "We have kids from the age of 3 to 10 years old -- all girls -- you know, it's very scary. We never knew that that was going on."
Investigators don't know where the additional hostages or the third unnamed suspect is.
"We're very actively looking for them," Pickering said. "Based on the information we have, we're obviously concerned about these folks' wellbeing and their safety."
At this time, the sheriff doesn't have much to work with -- no names, no suspect description -- and the two suspects in custody aren't saying much.
