A man charged with raping two women in the garage of the Radisson Hotel on Stuart Street was ordered held in lieu of $1 million bail following his arraignment today, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office says.

Jose Rivera is charged with raping one woman on April 19 and another early this morning, the DA's office says, adding the April 19 victim was a worker at the hotel going to her job. Rivera's probation on an unrelated assault conviction in West Roxbury District Court was also revoked.

Innocent, etc.

And with prices like these ...

Ahem. The Berkeley Beacon reports on a turkey found wandering around the state Transportation Building early Tuesday:

Havoc almost broke out at City Place Plaza Tuesday morning due to the presence of a distraught wild turkey outside the Stuart Street entrance. At 6:15 a.m. baristas at the City Place Starbucks spotted what was either a genetically altered starling or Ben Franklin's favorite bird.

Boston Police report five incidents since October involving women who say they were attacked or raped by taxi and limo drivers between 11:50 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., most recently, the case of the Northeastern student picked up and allegedly raped in a cabbie's van on Dec. 7.

Two of the incidents involved women picked up in Park Plaza; the others were in Uphams Corner, on Atlantic Avenue and in Saugus (the Northeastern student). In two cases, the victims gave similar descriptions: A man, 5'8" and speaking with a foreign accent (in one of those cases, the woman described the driver as "Middle Eastern," in the other, she described him as "tan").

Police say women should avoid walking alone late at night, should not wear high heels, shouldn't accept rides from men in non-Boston cabs or personal vehicles and should never sit in the front seat. Also: Car keys make a useful weapon.
