District Judge Alison Austin based her decision on flight risk and whether the men are "a threat to the community."
Prosecutors say Herold's 9-year-old son was kept out of school and never saw other people except when Herold was there. Herold and Dunnavant allegedly subjected the boy to sexual torture and filmed the proceedings.
