JUST IN: Victor Peña has been found guilty of kidnapping and raping a woman he held captive in his Boston apartment over three days in January 2019.

GUILTY OF ALL COUNTS. Pena is not in the courtroom to hear this verdict. Other than when he testified, he listened to his trial in a separate room due to behavior issues.The woman, whom NBC10 Boston is not naming because she is the alleged victim of a sexual assault, was abducted after leaving Hennessy's, a bar near Faneuil Hall. She was later seen on surveillance video in Charlestown, where she was eventually found by police at an apartment complex.

Defense begins closing arguments. He is asking the jury to find Victor Pena not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility. If that happens, Pena would be committed. “Because of a mental defect - he lacks criminal responsibility.”, a major twist in the trial just one day before the closing arguments. He hadn't testified earlier in the trial, and appeared in the courtroom Monday carrying a book and wearing rosary beads around his neck.

At one point on the stand, while describing when police found them in his apartment, Peña punched the air and took his shirt off. He said he wanted to testify to clear his name.
