PLYMOUTH – A Kingston man has been convicted of violently raping a woman at a house party, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has announced.
Tuesday, after a three-day trial, a jury deliberated 8 ½ hours in Plymouth Superior Court before convicting 22-year-old Jason M. Webb on two counts of Rape, and one count of Indecent Assault and Battery. Webb was found not guilty on two counts of Indecent Assault and Battery.
The Commonwealth requested that Webb’s bail be revoked, and that he be ordered to stay away and have no contact with the victim, and wear a GPS monitoring bracelet. Judge Ira Gant denied the Commonwealth’s request, and released Webb on personal recognizance, until his sentencing scheduled for November 17th.
The maximum sentence for a Rape charge is 20 years in State Prison, and an Indecent Assault and Battery charge carries a maximum sentence of up to five years.
On August 26, 2023, Plymouth Police were notified by South Shore Hospital of the reported sexual assault of a female there for treatment. Officers determined the incident occurred in Kingston, and Kingston Police were notified. The victim reported, and the investigation determined that victim was assaulted at a house party at Webb’s home in Kingston in the early morning hours on August 26, 2023.
Assistant District Attorney Jason Blanchette prosecuted the case, which was investigated by Kingston Police Department and Det. Sgt Steven Berna.
