A woman and her boyfriend are accused of plotting to sacrifice the woman's three children on a church altar.

Nicole Mancini, 29, and John Thurber, 35, were arrested at St. Mary's Church in Rochester on Wednesday after workers said they heard the woman say she wanted to sacrifice the boys.

The children, ages 9, 7 and 2, were not harmed and were placed in state custody.
