California man Peter McGuire allegedly tortured, raped woman for months

Per NYP – A California man allegedly held a woman captive for five months at his home — where he subjected her to horrific torture by repeatedly raping her, cutting her tongue, putting out an eye and disfiguring her face, authorities said.

Peter Anthony McGuire, 59, is facing a slew of charges, from rape and kidnapping to sodomy, torture and false imprisonment, for his alleged brutal treatment of the 22-year old woman, whom he started abusing after she moved into his Chino HIlls, Calif., home.

“Very soon after moving into the house she was not allowed to leave, she was held there against her will by him and at that point was subjected to multiple assaults,” San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Mara Rodriguez told ABC7

According to the criminal complaint, McGuire “Did unlawfully and maliciously deprive Jane/John Doe of a member of the body and did disable, disfigure and render it useless and did cut and disable the tongue, and put out an eye and slit the nose, ear and lip of said person.”
