The teenager who pleaded for help in Upper Chelsea, half-naked and in chains, told police his captors were talking about selling him.

Documents sworn before a judge by police say the 16-year-old was sleeping on the streets of Halifax. He told officers he woke up in a van with a man and was taken to a house in Lunenburg County. The teenager says he was bound and sexually assaulted, only escaping when the two men left the house.

The house has been linked to a Caledonia school as well as a bondage website.

The RCMP issued a statement Thursday saying they believe the teenager was kept captive for 10 to 14 days based on their investigation so far.

David James Leblanc, 47, and Wayne Alan Cunningham, 31, are being sought in connection with the incident.  Both are charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault.

Leblanc was on an undertaking relating to “multiple charges around the Province” according to the police document, concerning child pornography, sexual assault and sexual interference.

The RCMP Major Crime Unit says the two men are believed to be traveling through Ontario.

RCMP Sgt. Allain Leblanc says the public should be on the lookout for two vehicles.

Leblanc says one is a grey 2003 Hyundai Elantra with a Nova Scotia licence plate of FBP 233.

He says the second is a brown 2002 Chevrolet Venture van with a Nova Scotia licence plate of EZG 581.

RCMP Forensic Units are also investigating the residence at 174 Faulkner Road.

The Chronicle Herald reports MDK Media, a bondage website, is registered to this address, and the house is owned by a man named Mark Douglas Kenney.

Neighbours told the paper Kenney has not been living at 174 Faulkner, but has been renting it out.

The paper located Kenney in Maitland Bridge where he told the paper he had no comment.

Kenny has been working as a custodian at the North Queens School in Caledonia, but a school spokesperson told the paper he is not working at the school while the investigation is ongoing.

Alice Arnold, 78, says she was the one who called 911 when a teenaged boy knocked on her Upper Chelsea door Monday around 7:20 p.m.

“There was a youngster standing there. I thought he was around 14,” Arnold told the Canadian Press.

She says the boy was wearing only a hooded sweatshirt.

“He was not tethered but around his wrists were chains, and the same thing around his ankles and he was barefoot,” she said.

While she went to call police, the boy ran to another neighbour who cut the chains and took the teen to hospital.

Police said the 16-year-old was taken to hospital in Halifax with non-life threatening injuries.

“I’m really sorry that I couldn’t help him more than I did. It’s sad. He was obviously terrified,” she said.

Upper Chelsea is just over an hour’s drive outside of Halifax.
