Dublin Firefighter Convicted of Boston Hotel Rape at Retrial

Jurors credited testimony despite DNA that did not tie him to the assault.

Overview

  • A Suffolk Superior Court jury found Terence Crosbie guilty after roughly three days of deliberations in a retrial that followed a June hung jury.
  • He remains in custody, faces up to 20 years in prison, and is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 30.
  • The woman testified she had consensual sex with his roommate at the Omni Parker House, fell asleep in a second bed, and later awoke to an attack by another man.
  • Forensic testing detected two male DNA contributors on samples taken at the hospital, but the results did not conclusively identify Crosbie.
  • Evidence shown to jurors included surveillance, key‑card records and video of state police removing Crosbie from an Aer Lingus flight after police questioning, while he denied any contact and the defense argued reasonable doubt.
