A 28-year-old Brazilian will spend Christmas in jail on rape and kidnapping charges.

Evandro Doirado, an illegal immigrant, is being held without bail on charges that he abducted a woman and her 2-year-old son at knifepoint in Framingham and held them for two days.

They were rescued Wednesday in Plymouth after the woman asked a liquor store clerk to help her. The clerk called police and Doirado was arrested.

A hearing on Friday to determine whether he should be released on bail was continued until Tuesday at the request of defense lawyer David Nagle.

Prosecutor Shelby Smith asked Judge Thomas Brownell to order blood sample testing, but Nagle objected. The judge will hear arguments on Tuesday on whether to allow a blood test.

Smith also submitted a request from federal immigration officials requesting that Doirado be turned over to them if he is released for any reason.

Doirado has pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated rape, kidnapping of a child, kidnapping and sexual assault while armed, two counts of threatening to commit a crime, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

He also faces charges of assault while armed with an intent to kill, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and carjacking in Framingham.

The names of the victims were not released. Six family members were present at the hearing, but had no comment.
