LYNN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Rashad Deihim, the 19-year-old who is accused of kidnapping and raping an intoxicated girl in Saugus, and leaving her for dead, is being held without bail pending his trial. But in previous brushes with the law, a judge let him go, a new report shows.
Deihim's record contains other violent offenses including an assault and battery charge involving his mother where she told police she "feared for her safety."
He and Bonia are both charged in an assault case in Saugus where another one of Deihim's girlfriends was allegedly dragged from a car.
In that case, as well as a case from last October when he faced charges of violating a restraining order that an ex-girlfriend of his had taken out, the judge gave him a stern talking to but did not hold him, even after the district attorney's office, which was prosecuting the case, ask that he be held on dangerousness grounds, according to the Boston Globe.
"I don't know that I've ever seen a young man 18 years old with two different restraining orders against him," First Justice Albert S. Conlon, the presiding judge over the restraining order case and the dragging case said, according to the Globe. "If you have an issue with women, you got to get that straightened out."
In the most recent case, Deihim turned himself in to authorities after a manhunt was activated, officials say. He is facing several charges, including assault with the attempt to rape, kidnapping, indecent assault and battery on a person over 14, and posing or exposing a child in a sexual act after allegedly assaulting a 16-year-old girl before leaving her for dead in Newburyport. Deihim did not act alone but he was last to be taken into custody.
Deihim and 18-year-old girlfriend Kailyn Bonia allegedly had a 17-year-old friend of theirs record and upload the assault to the social sharing site Snapchat. A friend of the victim saw the videos on Snapchat and told her father, who then called police. She is credited with likely saving the victim's life.
"In one of the videos, the victim was actually seen being held up by her assailants because she could not stand up on her own," Essex County Assistant District Attorney Erin Bellavia said.
Police say the Snapchat video show Bonia and Deihim seemingly taking turns brutalizing the victim. She was found under the influence of a narcotic in the woods behind the Waybright Elementary School leaving doctors no choice but to administer two doses of Narcan.
He was ordered held on dangerousness grounds by Judge James Wexler.
