CORONA, Calif. – The pastor of a Riverside County storefront church and two of his followers have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and assaulting a 13-year-old boy.

Lonny Remmers, Nick Craig and Darryll Jeter Jr. entered their pleas Wednesday afternoon in Riverside County Superior Court.

Prosecutors say the men pinched the boy with pliers, beat him with a shovel, forced him to dig a grave and threatened him with death as a harsh form of discipline.
