US EditionMoment Rapist Irish Firefighter Is Hauled Off Plane on Runway Trying to Flee US After Police Questioning

- On Friday, Terence Crosbie, firefighter from Dublin, Ireland, was convicted in Boston, Massachusetts, of rape during St. Patrick's Day weekend last year.
- The second trial proceeded following a juror deadlock in the first trial, with a jury of six men and six women convicting Crosbie after four-and-a-half days of arguments and more than 15 hours of deliberation.
- At The Black Rose, the woman met Liam O'Brien and had consensual sex with him before waking at 2 a.m. to Crosbie raping her, with hotel security footage matching her account.
- Following a police interview, officers removed Crosbie from an Aer Lingus flight at Logan Airport and arrested him; he remains in custody and faces up to 20 years in prison with sentencing on Oct. 30.
- Prosecutors praised the woman's courage in coming forward while defence attorney Daniel C. Reilly contested her reliability, and officials warned about outdated jury attitudes influencing verdicts.
