Bail revoked for man accused in rape of disabled man

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- A man accused of raping and stalking a mentally disabled man has had his bail revoked.

Buddy Smith is charged with rape, indecent assault and battery on a retarded person for allegedly assaulting the 25-year-old man multiple times between 2004 and 2006.

Smith had been free on $1,000 bail.

Today, a judge revoked his bail and ordered him held until his July 21 trial.

The ruling came after a witness testified about seeing Smith peeping in the window of the alleged victim's group home in Foster.
