The Charlestown man accused of kidnapping and then raping a 23-year-old Boston woman multiple times after she left Hennessy’s bar in January was ordered held without bail during a dangerousness hearing on Thursday.

Victor Peña, 38, was found dangerous by Judge Heidi Brieger and will remain behind bars for up to 120 days, according to an email from Jake Wark, spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. Peña’s next court date is set for May 9.

Peña faces one kidnapping charge and 10 aggravated rape charges after he allegedly forced the woman to stay in his apartment, made her drink alcohol, and gave her only canned pineapple to eat.


The victim was found alive in Peña’s apartment on Jan. 22, three days after she was last seen. Boston.com is no longer naming the woman because she is the survivor of a violent crime at the request of the district attorney’s office.
