Overview
- A Suffolk Superior Court jury returned a guilty verdict Friday after roughly 15 hours of deliberations over three days.
- Prosecutors said the woman had consensual sex with Crosbie’s roommate, fell asleep in a second bed, then awoke to an assault, after which she texted a friend and reported the rape at Massachusetts General Hospital.
- Forensic testing detected two male DNA contributors but did not identify Crosbie, a gap prosecutors countered by stressing that only two men were in the room during the alleged assault.
- Crosbie testified he never touched the woman and denied any interaction, while the jury saw bodycam video of Massachusetts State Police removing him from an Aer Lingus flight after he moved up his departure following a police interview.
- The conviction follows a June trial that ended with a hung jury, and Crosbie now faces up to 20 years in prison at his Oct. 30 sentencing.
