The case against a Dublin firefighter arrested on suspicion of raping a woman in a Boston hotel over St Patrick’s Day weekend is to be moved to a higher court.
Mr Crosbie flew into Boston with other members of Dublin’s Fire Brigade on Thursday, March 14th for St Patrick’s Day celebrations. The complainant reported the rape to police from a Boston hospital early the next morning. Irish woman says she will ‘never forget’ eyes of alleged rapist and chief suspect in Madeleine McCann case, the prosecution objected to the defence’s request for additional surveillance video and employee information from the two establishments, arguing that records pertaining to the hours when neither the defendant nor the complainant were present are irrelevant. But the presiding judge, Judge Joseph M Griffin, sided with the defence and scheduled a follow-up records hearing.
Officials at the Suffolk Superior Courthouse would not comment on a pending indictment hearing. Such proceedings take place behind closed doors before a grand jury.Mr Crosbie’s passport was seized after his arrest and he remains held on $100,000 bail. He appeared in the courtroom bound in shackles and kept his gaze focused on the judge before a court officer escorted him out the door.
