A Dublin man who is a firefighter and paramedic was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bail after he was charged with raping a woman at the Omni Parker House, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office reports.
Terrence Crosbie, 37, who flew into Boston with other firefighters from the Dublin Fire Brigade on Thursday to march in the South Boston parade on Sunday, was also ordered to surrender his passport and not leave the state should he make bail at his arraignment this morning, the DA’s office reports.
According to the DA’s office, police went to Mass. General Friday morning to interview a woman who said she’d been raped earlier in the evening at the hotel.
Detectives secured video surveillance from the hotel and from the The Black Rose, a bar and restaurant in Boston, where both Crosbie and the victim were on Thursday evening.
Police learned that Crosbie had flown to Boston from Ireland earlier Thursday with other members of the Brigade and that he was scheduled to leave on Tuesday. After being interviewed by police on Saturday, Crosbie booked a flight for 10:10 p.m. that night, days before his scheduled departure date. At the airport, Crosbie boarded an even earlier flight, departing at around 7 p.m. State police stopped the plane on the Logan tarmac and removed Crosbie.
Innocent, etc.
