Posted by The owner of Howard Boats in Barnstable, Mass was arraigned on charges of rape and indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over, the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office announced.
Peter Eastman, 57, of Barnstable, was arraigned in the Barnstable District Court on Sept. 11. Eastman already had bail on a separate matter — with charges including assault with a dangerous weapon and violation of a restraining order — which was removed during the recent arraignment.
On Tuesday, Eastman appeared in the Barnstable District Court, where the state’s motion to hold him without bail was allowed. There was a motion by the Commonwealth to hold Eastman on dangerousness in the sexual assault case, meaning, as a matter of procedure, the court revoked bail on his previous pending case and held him on dangerousness.
