An Anne Arundel County judge ordered yesterday convicted sex offender Robert Marshall Eiseman held without bond while he awaits trial on rape and eight other charges stemming from an attack on a woman 14 years ago.
Indicted in September, Eiseman, 42, will go on trial Nov. 6. He is charged in an attack Dec. 1, 1988, on a 22-year-old woman as she returned to her Cape St. Claire home from work.
Maryland State Police said Eiseman was the first person charged in a cold case based on a DNA match in the Maryland State Police DNA database.
Eiseman was serving a 20-year prison term for his conviction for a Montgomery County crime - a sentence he began serving in 1989, one year before the similar Anne Arundel County allegation - and was to have been released on parole from the Division of Correction a few weeks ago.
But as a result of the indictment he was paroled this month to the Anne Arundel County Detention Center.
