A man who was arrested and charged with kidnapping and rape over the weekend in Everett, Massachusetts, appeared in court Monday but had his arraignment delayed.

Jersson Canales, 35, was arrested Saturday in connection with an incident that occurred earlier that day, Everett police said. The victim, they said, was safe and received medical treatment.

Canales was charged with kidnapping, rape, aggravated rape and attempted rape in connection with Saturday's incident.

He appeared in court in Medford for his arraignment, but the hearing was pushed back to Tuesday — the prosecution and Canales' lawyer wanted to wait until they had more information before Canales faced the charges.
