Pena was accused of kidnapping Ambrose from Hennessy’s a downtown Boston bar on Saturday night has a long history of menacing behavior toward women, and at least one ex-girlfriend accused him of sexual assault, according to court documents.

“My children are scared of him, especially the younger one and I’m afraid he might hurt me or the children,” he ex stated in her application.
The 38-year-old was arrested by Boston police Tuesday afternoon after a citywide search for Olivia Ambrose of Wenham, who was reported missing Sunday after leaving Hennessy’s bar Saturday night and failing to answer her phone since.

 Police found Ambrose inside Pena’s Walford Way apartment in the Bunker Hill housing development, where court documents state Pena had installed extra locks on the front door.
Boston Police Commissioner William Gross says Pena could face additional charges, based on the victim’s police interview.

Several friends and neighbors said they feared the worst after Olivia’s disappearance and were overjoyed that she beat the odds and came home alive.
‘The Ambrose family is so grateful for the monumental efforts of the Boston Police Department and the Boston Metro Transit police who have worked tirelessly over the last three days to bring Olivia home,’ a spokesperson for the family said in a statement. ‘The Ambrose family is also so appreciative of all the efforts, prayers and good wishes of their friends, family and complete strangers who have helped in the efforts to find Olivia.’

Ambrose is a college graduate who moved to the Jamaica Plain neighborhood only a week earlier, after taking a job with a software company, according to her family was last seen near Hennessy’s bar in Downtown Boston around 11pm on Saturday. She was there with her twin sister, Francesca, and friends.

Police say surveillance footage captured Pena holding Ambrose later that night, and they say it was clear ‘she did not go along willingly.’
According to Gross, Ambrose appeared to be in good health on Tuesday. She was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for a medical evaluation before her family took her home.

Police located Ambrose and Pena in the city’s Charlestown neighborhood on Tuesday, after spotted her in the surveillance footage at the subway. When they visited his home, he willingly opened his door and police found Ambrose standing there in good health.

Pena is the same man seen on CCTV video leading an intoxicated Ambrose out a subway station after the suspect and another man approached her outside of the bar on Saturday night.
Pena and the other man were observed asking Ambrose to walk with them in the area of Congress and State Streets near Boston’s City Hall.
One of the men appears to walk ahead while Pena ‘places his arm around Ambrose and directs her toward the State Street MBTA station.’

Twenty minutes later Pena still has his arm wrapped around Ambrose as they exited at the Bunker Hill Community MBTA station, Boston police officials said.
At that time the second man is no longer seen.
Then at 12:13am, Ambrose and Pena are picked up by surveillance video walking toward Bartlett Street in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston.
Ambrose’s cell phone then pinged in the notorious Bunker Hill Housing Development, a mile away from the Irish pub where Ambrose was last seen on Saturday night.

Pena has a history of run-ins with the law, according to WCVB-TV.
In 2009, a woman filed a complaint with police alleging that Pena was stalking her on the T, which is Boston’s subway and light rail system.
Two other women also complained about Pena’s behavior, WCVB-TV reported, but no charges were ever filed.
Pena has also been found to have violated restraining orders in 2008 and 2014, the television station reported.
Those charges, however, were eventually dismissed.
WPRI reported that he was arrested last summer at Twin River Casino in Lincoln on charges of cheating and obtaining money under false pretenses. That case is still pending.
In 2004, Pena was arrested and charged with assault, but that charge was dropped after he successfully met pre-trial probation requirements.
She has been in custody since Sunday, no bond has been set and no attorney of record is listed for the defendant
