A Glendale man has been arrested nearly two decades after police say he beat and sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl.

Police took 59-year-old Brian Eastwood into custody on July 12 at his home.

In 2000, investigators say Eastwood paid the teenage girl to perform a sex act. According to court documents, Eastwood sexually assaulted and beat the girl, and used a stun gun on her nearly 30 times.

Detectives say the teen was found near 30th Street and Elwood in Phoenix covered with a blanket and her hands tied behind her back. They say DNA evidence matched Eastwood. The teen, who's now a woman living in another state, identified Eastwood through a photo lineup.
