Kidnapping, Rape Suspect Performed Obscene Act During Jury Trial
Victor Pena, 42, of Charlestown, suddenly appeared naked on a monitor in the courtroom and began performing "an obscene" act in front of potential jurors in another room for approximately 16 seconds before an officer appeared and the video was shut off.

The potential jurors who witnessed the act were excused based off of what they had seen alone. Pena will continue to be allowed to hear and view the proceedings remotely, but will no longer appear on a monitor in the main courtroom, officials said.
Pena currently faces one count of kidnapping and 10 counts of aggravated rape. Authorities said he held 23-year-old Olivia Ambrose against her will and sexually assaulted her at his Walford Way home in Charlestown in January 2019
