Authorities have arrested a Glendale man for sexual assault and beating of a 17-year-old girl that took place nearly two
decades ago.
Brian Eastwood, 59-year-old, was arrested on July 12 at his home after what investigators are saying he paid a teenage girl to perform a sex act in 2000.
According to court documents, Eastwood sexually assaulted and beat the girl, using a stun gun on her nearly 30 times. The teen was found near 30th Street and Elwood in Phoenix covered with a blanket and her hands tied behind her back. Police say DNA evidence matched Eastwood. The teen, now a grown woman living in another state, identified Eastwood through a photo lineup.
Eastwood was booked into jail, with his bond set at $350,000. The judge said Eastwood must pay the full bail amount to be released from custody.
Court records detail that Eastwood has a long history of arrests on counts including sexual assault, prostitution, and drug and weapons charges.
