A day after Victor Peña testified, a major twist in the kidnapping and rape trial, his lawyers made their case to the jury for why he should be acquitted.
Victor Pena, 42, of Charlestown, is charged with one count of kidnapping and 10 counts of aggravated rape. Opening arguments got underway around 2 p.m. Monday after a week of jury selection.
"I tried to leave," the woman said, but her alleged attacker, Victor Peña,"wouldn't let me…he threatened to kill me." "I didn't want to die so I just let him," she continued."He said he rescued me and saved me and I would've gotten frostbite if he hadn't saved me." about what happened when they saw the victim walking alone the night of Jan. 19, 2019, on Congress Street. Peña said hello to her, she said hi back, they started to talk, and she started walking with him. Roldan said the victim was visibly drunk and he told Peña to leave her alone.
