All five members of the family, ranging in age from 43 to 16, were arrested on charges of kidnapping and making terroristic threats. They had not entered pleas Wednesday but denied wrongdoing.
The accuser, Emily Nicely, 19, said she went to live with the family voluntarily but alleges she had been forced to stay with them since September, authorities said.
Police were called March 10 after a man whose newspaper was delivered by the family reported seeing bruises on the young woman.
