BOSTON (WHDH) — A firefighter from Ireland has been found guilty of raping a woman at a Boston hotel last year after coming to the area for Saint Patrick’s Day.
Terence Crosbie, 39, was convicted of raping a woman at Boston’s Omni Parker House Hotel in 2024. He had originally pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors revealed that Crosbie flew to Boston with the Dublin fire brigade to participate in the Saint Patrick’s Day parade. After being questioned by police in connection with the assault, Crosbie booked an early flight back to Dublin.
During the trial, police bodycam footage was played in court, showing Crosbie being arrested on a plane at Logan Airport as he attempted to leave the country.
On the stand Tuesday, Crosbie admitted that he purchased a ticket three days before his scheduled flight in order to miss the parade. He also acknowledged leaving his hotel and arriving at the airport five hours before his planned departure.
